you are mistaken of how the hive works , the receiver gets wired into the boiler and usually is mounted next to the boiler then those two wires are also connected into the receiver, the thermostat that goes there (or any where else) is battery powered and doesnt have any cables
You need professional installation by a Gas Safe Registered Engineer on an Ideal Logic, as the front case of the boiler needs to be removed. This should only be done by a GSR who can carry out the required gas safety checks on completion

You don't give the make / model of your thermostat, but if I had to guess I would say it's a Honeywell CM707
If so, the wires presently in A & B are the switching wires and would go to the Hive single channel receiver terminals (1) Common, and (3) heating on. It doesn't matter which way around they go.
Your present thermostat is battery operated, but the Hive receiver is mains powered, so needs a 230V supply. As Muggles has said, you shouldn't open up the boiler casing, but instead you can connect the Hive (N) & (L) directly to the N & L 'load' terminals of the 3A fused spur that supplies the boiler, thus avoiding opening up the boiler casing.
Ianmcd is right about the positioning, but you could move the cable to have the receiver in a different location if you wish, and then the Hive Thermostat could be located where the existing one is.

That's OK the wiring is the same.
No, they are switching wires. Don't assume they are L and N from their colours. When the CM907 switches the heating 'on' the two wires in A & B are electrically connected together inside the thermostat (it's just a simple on/off switch) and you would never connect a live and neutral together.......BANG!!
The Hive Thermostat is battery powered, and I made a suggestion already as to how to get 230V supply for the Hive Receiver.
If you don't understand that you should really be getting a professional to install it for you.
yes but you cant open the boiler to access the electrics
I'm a not an RGI, but I've never seen a boiler that requires opening up a room sealed part of the boiler to top up the pressure. However, there are now quite a few (yours being one of them) that have their wiring terminals located inside the room sealed part.
no it wasnt
