Migratory Top Cover
A migratory top cover — a flat, no-overhang lid that sits flush with the hive body, so hives can be packed side by side for transport or tight apiary layouts. Solid pine, built to take the bumps of a move.
Features
- Flat solid-pine lid with no overhang — hives butt together.
- End cleats for easy lifting and airflow.
- Fits standard Langstroth equipment — 5, 8, or 10 frame.
How it works
The migratory cover rests directly on the top box — no telescoping lip needed. Because the edges are flush, you can load hives tight on a truck or pack them close in the yard without the lids catching on each other.
Before you order
Choose the size that matches your hive body — 5, 8, or 10 frame.
