Should I wrap my beehive for winter?

Wrapping properly can raise the temperature in the hive, reduce condensation over the cluster, and reduce drafts cause by winter winds. Done poorly, wrapping can turn the hive into a damp, disease-ridden death trap for the bees.

What do you wrap bee hives for in the winter?
