The Essential "Attic" for Your Hive

The 10-Frame Inner Cover is a small but mighty component that sits directly under your Metal Outer Cover. It creates a vital dead-air space that acts as insulation, keeping your bees comfortable through every Florida season.

Why Every Beekeeper Needs One

  • Prevents "Sticking": Without an inner cover, bees will use propolis to glue the Metal Outer Cover to the hive body. This cover ensures you can always access your hive without a struggle.

  • Dual-Purpose Ventilation: The center notch and hole allow for proper airflow, preventing the moisture buildup that can lead to mold or disease.

  • Easy Feeding Access: The center hole is perfectly sized for most hive feeders, allowing you to provide sugar water to your colony without fully exposing the bees to the elements.

  • Climate Control: In the summer, it helps vent heat out of the top; in the winter, it provides a buffer against heat loss through the roof.

Setup Guide for Beginners:

Placement: Lay this flat on your top-most Hive Body with the notched side facing up. Then, place your Metal Outer Cover directly over it. This "double-roof" system is the industry standard for a healthy, manageable hive.
