Why Use an Inner Cover?
An inner cover is an essential component of a well-managed hive. It provides a dead air space for insulation, helps control moisture and ventilation, prevents bees from gluing the outer cover to the top bars with propolis, and creates a smooth surface for the outer cover to rest on. The inner cover also serves as a platform for emergency feeding and provides an upper entrance when needed.
Porter Style Design Benefits
The oval center hole is specifically designed to accommodate Porter-style bee escapes, making honey harvesting significantly easier. Simply install a Porter bee escape in the hole, place the inner cover between your honey supers and brood chamber, and bees will exit the supers but cannot return. This allows you to clear honey supers of bees without shaking frames or using chemical repellents.
Versatile Feeding Compatibility
The design works seamlessly with plastic top feeders, allowing you to place feeders directly on the inner cover for convenient colony feeding. This versatility makes spring buildup, fall feeding, and emergency supplementation easier and more efficient. The oval hole can also be used for ventilation or as an upper entrance when needed.
Built for Canadian Conditions
Crafted with Canadian beekeepers in mind, this inner cover is built to withstand temperature extremes, moisture, and the rigors of regular hive management. The premium construction ensures it maintains its shape and function through multiple seasons, making it a reliable investment for your beekeeping operation.
