8 Frame - Garden Beehive Outer Cover Lid

Garden beehive outer covers (sometimes called a gabled cover, pigeon roof or peaked roof) are not only attractive but help keep your beehive cooler in summer and dryer in winter. The pitched roof and end vent holes provide extra ventilation for heat and moisture to escape. They also provide extra protection from the elements due to the roof overhang.

The lids are made from pine and come either unassembled or fully assembled. 

Gabled roofs are generally used in conjunction with an inner cover (not included) to prevent bees drawing honeycomb in the roof cavity
