I see your point but the insulation is wrapped in a thick plastic and sealed so it shouldn't get wet inside....and I have enough celotex to make a big roof to hang over the edges. I will have to do something after we finish feeding.
Fair enough but if by chance it does get wet then it'll possibly make a mess of your hive and bees. I've experimented quite a bit with celotex cosies etc and finally settled on poly brood boxes with 50mm in a standard roof. If I was you I'd just put some celotex above the crown board and give them an extra pound or two of sugar!
