Research assesses colony winter hardiness in honey bees using wooden and polyurethane foam hives, indicating material impact on development.

Colony strength and mortality showed minor changes during wintering regardless of hive material.
In spring, colonies in polyurethane foam hives had a higher sealed brood area compared to wooden hives.
Hives’ thermophysical properties influence honey bee development during wintering periods with unstable temperatures.
Colonies in wooden hives showed slower development during minor winter thaws, enhancing adaptability.

Cherevatov et al. (2025) studied this question.
