Protect your colony from the top down with our professional-grade Metal Outer Cover. Often called a "Telescoping Cover," this heavy-duty lid is designed to hang over the edges of your hive, acting as a sturdy shield against the elements. Key Features: Weatherproof Shield: The durable metal top reflects sunlight to keep the hive cool in the summer and sheds heavy rain to keep the interior dry. Precision Fit: Features a deep lip or overhang that "telescopes" over the top of the hive body, ensuring it won't blow off in high winds. Thermal Regulation: Helps retain vital hive heat during winter and reflects harsh UV rays in the peak of the Florida summer. Installation Tip for Beginners: Note: This Metal Outer Cover is designed to be used in conjunction with a 10-Frame Inner Cover. The Inner Cover provides the necessary air space and prevents the bees from "gluing" this heavy metal lid to the top of the hive with propolis.
