The telescoping cover protects a nuc the same way it protects a full hive — it's just sized down. This 5-frame cypress cover overhangs the box slightly and wears a metal cap, so rain sheds off instead of soaking into the wood.
What You Get
- Metal-capped top — blocks sun and rain from reaching the wood, the main reason covers rot
- Overhanging sides shed water away from the box
- 7/8" cypress construction, naturally rot-resistant
- Fits standard 5-frame nuc equipment
- Choose unpainted or primed and painted
Telescoping vs. Migratory
Telescoping gives better weather protection for a nuc that's staying put. If you're moving nucs between yards or hauling them to catch swarms, our migratory cover stacks flush and tighter for transport.
