A bee hive is an artificial home for bees which has been provided by a beekeeper to keep his bees in. In prolonged freezing conditions, bees might find it hard to survive if their hive was unprotected. However, in an average North European winter, bees will survive perfectly well within their hive provided that they are sheltered from cold winds and damp within the hive. They cluster together to keep warm, and the bees are always changing position so that the same bees aren't always on the outside of the cluster.

Do yellow jackets and bumble bees compete for territory?
Yes, I have noticed that bumble bees and yellow jackets DO compete for territory. I have had many yellow jackets infesting my home in upstate New York each season for 17 years. However, this last summer, I had a bumble bee family that moved into my front porch. I watched them each day as they literally chased away the yellow jackets whenever they came near. Yet the bumble bees never caused any harm to me or my family. Thank goodness for my "watch dogs", the bumble bees -- they are my guardians against those angry yellow jackets!
