Deep shade is generally enough to cool the worms off during our wide temperature swings. That and having plenty of bedding should make the bin comfortable enough for the worms to thrive and do their work. If you do choose to keep the bin inside, I have clients, who keep the bin under the kitchen sink or in the garage, with ease. Generally the temperature of the garage floor is a constant 55"'F. The other trick is to take anything you might already have around the house or garage that you have used as an insulator and bungee cord it around the bin on all 4 sides. I hope you have a good Mother's Day! Please let me know if this works out for you or helps. ~Shel Hi Anne,

My only concern is that I live in a place that gets very hot during the summer, so I'll need something I can keep inside somewhere.
