An insulating wrap for a bee hive includes four rigid foam board cores having upper and lower edges. A single piece cover wraps around the lower edges of the rigid foam board cores and is stitched together along their upper edges. The stitched seam along the upper edges of the rigid foam board cores defines a standing or projecting seam. The single piece cover is stitched together along corner seams between each of the rigid foam board cores and along end seams. A closure connects the ends of the insulating wrap adjacent to the end seams. The insulating wrap wraps around the hive bodies of the bee hive so that the standing or projecting seam is adjacent to the hive lid and may act as a seal against the hive lid, or may provide a tightly controlled gap between the insulating wrap and the hive lid.
