I'm good with lining my home with honey bees as my insulation, just gotta get some removable racks and a water tube for proper bee keeping.

I wonder if that would be up to code. What is the r-value of a bee box filled with bees and honey? Also, the consequences for punching a hole in the wall are now immediate and serious.

Don't bees actually generate heat? They can like cook invading wasps to death.

I have heard that but the ones that live in my parents walls die en masse in the winter and it rarely gets below 50F. So I don't know if that's life cycle or cold?

Maybe they can tolerate heat but are weak to cold. Summon the apiarists!

That's what this whole convo needs. Apiarists and structural engineers.
