Wooden Garden Hive Lid | Blythewood Bee Co.
A decorative gabled garden hive lid gives a working 10-frame Langstroth hive the look of a classic cottage beehive — a favorite for backyard and display apiaries where the hive is part of the landscaping. It sits on top in place of a standard cover and sheds rain off the peak.
Features
- Peaked, gabled roofline over a standard hive
- Dresses up a working Langstroth hive for garden and display settings
- Sloped peak helps shed rain
- Built for 10-frame equipment
How it works in real life
The garden lid sits on top of your hive in place of a standard cover, adding a peaked roofline that turns a plain box into a focal point for the yard. The slope sheds rain. It's a decorative cover first — if you're moving hives or want the deepest weather protection, run a flat migratory or an overhanging telescoping lid instead (both linked below), and save the garden lid for the display hive.

FAQ
Is it weatherproof?
The peak sheds rain for a stationary garden hive. For transport or the heaviest weather, a telescoping or migratory cover is the more protective choice.
Does it replace my regular cover?
Yes — it sits on top in place of a standard lid. Keep an inner cover underneath if you normally run one.
Does it fit 8-frame hives?
This lid is built for 10-frame equipment.
