You don't know bees as I do.

I may, but that's hardly relevant to the physics behind trapping heat
inside your house.

But you said, "They deliberately function as a fan to pull warm air out of
the hive, and I expect they simply stop doing that as soon as the air
they're moving no
longer feels too warm, ... "

I'd said, "on a very hot day the bees in a hive in full sun were flying in
a cloud at the front of the hive." not that they were fanning at the
entrance.

I wasn't there :-). It sounded like that's what you were describing.
