Bee Smart Ultimate Hive Cover
The Bee Smart Designs Ultimate Hive Cover — a one-piece, weatherproof outer cover that doubles as an inner cover, so you skip a part. Built-in ventilation and a UV-stable shell handle sun, rain, and cold without warping or rotting like wood.
Features
- Combines an outer and inner cover in one piece.
- Built-in upper ventilation ports.
- UV-stable and weatherproof — won't warp, rot, or need painting.
- Fits standard 8 and 10 frame Langstroth equipment.
How it works
Set the Ultimate Cover directly on your top box — no separate inner cover required. Molded ventilation channels keep air moving and reduce condensation, while the tough shell shrugs off weather year-round.
Compare
