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 any bees live in a frozen hive?
Honey bees do not hibernate. In cold weather they will cluster together in the hive and vibrate their wing muscles in order to generate heat. The temperature in the centre of the cluster will be in the order of 35 to 40 degrees Celsius, and bees on the outside of the cluster will move in as they cool off. Provided there are enough bees to maintain the required temperature and there is not too much heat loss through the hive wall, the outside of the hive can be completely frozen and the bees will be unaffected.
