This Stoney Acres telescoping beehive cover is the top piece for any 10-frame Langstroth honeybee hive. The metal top protects the hive interior from rain, snow, and sun while the unpainted pine interior provides the natural unfinished surface bees prefer to propolize around for their own seal. Telescoping means the cover overlaps the hive box edges, channeling water away from the hive joints rather than letting it run into the seams.
Fully assembled — pull it out of the box, put it on the hive, done. No build-it-yourself with mismatched screws and unclear instructions. The cover fits the standard 10-frame hive box geometry used by most American beekeepers, and pairs naturally with the matching Stoney Acres 10-frame hive boxes and components in the same Lehman’s catalog.
Handcrafted in Ohio by an Amish beekeeping family — the same family that runs working hives and understands what beekeepers actually need. For new beekeepers building their first hive setup, replacement parts for established beekeepers whose covers have aged out, or rebuilding after winter losses, this is the right piece. USA made.
