Beehive Covers & Escapes

Beehive covers and bee escapes are two of the most practical items a beekeeper reaches for when managing their hives. Outer covers, available in plastic or telescoping metal, painted or unpainted, protect your hive from rain and sun, while inner covers improve ventilation and create a buffer between the colony and the outer cover. Bee escapes, including board-style and conical options, let you clear bees from a super before harvest without chemicals or stress. Nixa Hardware & Seed Co carries both 8-frame and 10-frame sizes, so match your cover or escape to your existing hive setup before you order.
