Hive Outer Cover with Galvanized Metal (Roof)

The outer cover of a beehive serves as a protective roof. When placed on top of the hive, it provides extra protection, ventilation, and insulation for the honey bees. During the winter, the outer cover also helps minimize condensation inside the hive.

Wooden outer covers can be galvanized with metal, which, due to their added weight, helps them better withstand wind, rain, storms, and snow.

Various uses include:

• Protective roof
• Galvanized metal to better withstand weather
• May require an inner cover for additional temperature and ventilation control
