In beekeeping, it’s crucial to maintain a protective barrier between your bees and the outer hive cover. An inner cover shields your bees from external elements, regulates temperature and humidity, and serves as a convenient upper entrance reducer. Mann Lake offers durable and long-lasting covers designed to provide optimal comfort and protection for your bees and their hives.

Do You Need an Inner Cover in Your Hive?
When it comes to critical components in a hive, beekeepers don’t necessarily need an inner cover, however, it offers several benefits that make hive management and colony health easier to maintain. While some beekeepers prefer minimalist setups, an inner cover can offer the following benefits:
- Helps Regulate Temperature and Humidity: It provides insulation, helping protect bees from extreme heat or cold and reducing moisture buildup.
- Simplify Inspections: It prevents bees from attaching comb to the outer lid, minimizing disruption during inspections.
- Improves Ventilation: Ventilation notches help reduce condensation, which can harm bees in winter.
- Helps Deter Pests: It creates an additional barrier against predators like wasps.
