Many of us who experience real winters , i.e. with  temperatures below  
freezing and lots of snow usually wrap our hives.
I know some who don't and some who get quite elaborate.
Question:  based on going into the winter with what we all would  consider 
adequate stores and a colony that is reasonably strong in most  respects,
is there a temperature inside the hive above which bees eat more and  
potentially end up starving before spring
