10-Frame Metal Outer Cover (Telescoping Lid)

Bee Friends Farm
$34.00

Protect your colony from the top down with our professional-grade Metal Outer Cover. Often called a "Telescoping Cover," this heavy-duty lid is designed to hang over the edges of your hive, acting as a sturdy shield against the elements.

Key Features:

  • Weatherproof Shield: The durable metal top reflects sunlight to keep the hive cool in the summer and sheds heavy rain to keep the interior dry.

  • Precision Fit: Features a deep lip or overhang that "telescopes" over the top of the hive body, ensuring it won't blow off in high winds.

  • Thermal Regulation: Helps retain vital hive heat during winter and reflects harsh UV rays in the peak of the Florida summer.

Installation Tip for Beginners:

Note: This Metal Outer Cover is designed to be used in conjunction with a 10-Frame Inner Cover. The Inner Cover provides the necessary air space and prevents the bees from "gluing" this heavy metal lid to the top of the hive with propolis.
