.Peter says

"I have been telling folks for years: the bees don't heat the hive, they 
heat the cluster. Insulation does very little in such a case."
    1. What about stores consumption to keep warm?

    2. What about during brood buildup, plenty of heat generated here to be 
used or lost.

    3. How come colonies stronger in spring with styro boxes than with wood. 
Feser stores also consumed.
