A migratory cover keeps rain and sun off the top of the hive without the overhang a telescoping cover has. This 8-frame cypress cover sits flush with the box, so hives stack tighter for transport — a common pick for beekeepers who move hives between yards.
What You Get
- Flush fit — no overhang, so hives stack tighter for transport
- 7/8" cypress construction, naturally rot-resistant outdoors
- Simple flat design, lighter than a telescoping cover
- Fits standard 8-frame Langstroth equipment
- Choose unpainted or primed and painted
The Tradeoff
Flush covers don't shed water quite as well as a telescoping cover with an overhang. If your hives stay put year-round, we'd point you to the telescoping cover instead. If you're moving hives regularly, this one's stackability wins.
