Insulation in hives

[casualman]

It seems this will be a perpetual debate between pro and and anti insulation, like the wood/poly debate. I guess if you are pro poly then you're pro celotex.

For what it's worth, this (50mm) is going on my hives with a 100mm top yet to be added. And potentially a 2nd lift to cover the entire hive below.

I use builders insulation material which has same insulation properties as celotex and kingspan. Much cheaper and flexible.

And what’s its conductivity ? sometimes described as lambda value.
