This inner cover incorporates an 8-ways bee escape. It is a ready system to dislodge hive supers and harvest them safely.
On harvest day, the last thing you want is fighting every frame with a brush and lots of smoke. This crownboard with frame for fixed-size hives comes with an 8-way bee escape already fitted, so you can clear your supers the calm way.
The idea is straightforward: bees move down into the brood chamber, while the escape works as a near one-way system that makes it hard for them to come back up. Put it on the afternoon before, and next morning your supers are mostly bee-free, ready to carry to the extraction room without bringing half the apiary with you.
How to use it:
• Install it the evening before harvest, between brood box and supers.
• Next morning, remove supers with far less smoke and brushing.
• Quick check: make sure the queen isn’t up in a super (can happen if a super had brood).
It’s also multi-purpose: the built-in hatch lets you use it for controlled jobs like uniting two colonies.
Size: 500 x 425 mm. Bee escape: 8 exits, ready to use. Fits: 10-frame supers in the matching footprint.
