The inner cover is more gentle to the bees by creating a 1\/4&#8243; bee space between the frames and the inner cover.<\/p>\n<p>An inner cover has many purposes. It will help to insulate the hive creating a 1\/4&#8243; dead air space between the outer cover and the hive. SMF does not notch the inner cover for ventilation. A\u00a0Popsicle\u00a0stick or small stone can be used to prop the inner cover open for ventilation if needed. This way, if the hive needs to be moved, we simply staple a screen over the oval hole and screw it down onto a super at the four corners.<\/p>\n<p>The oval hole in the inner cover can be used for feeding or it can be used in combination with a bee escape when bees need to be evacuated from a super. Never worry about the inner cover placement on the hive since our \u00a0inner covers are identical on both surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>A detailed schematic and diagrams along with a YouTube video will be posted soon with step-by-step instructions.
