Hive Top Sets
Telescoping Outer Cover with Inner Cover — From $60
Local Pick Up Only (no shipping)
Our standard Telescoping Top Set includes both the outer cover and matching inner cover for a complete 10-frame Langstroth hive.
The telescoping outer cover is metal-clad for weather protection and extends over the hive body to help shed rain and improve durability in field conditions. The inner cover installs beneath the outer cover and assists with ventilation, moisture control, and prevents the bees from gluing the top cover directly to the hive body.
All woodenware we stock is 10-frame Langstroth style equipment.
8-frame equipment is available by special order only.
Specifications
Tops Covers are 18.5" x 22" x 2"
Inner Covers are 16.25" x 20"
(actually 19 7/8" same as boxes)
