Celtic Beehive covers are a brand-new product! Born from the struggles of coping with the adverse weather here in Wales, 5 minutes from the coastline of the Irish sea, we are faced with strong winds/rain and fluctuations in temperature, this has proven to be very problematic, creating a damp environment for the bees. Bees will always cope with changing temperatures but as the weather gets more extreme it makes their work even harder; these have been designed by a beekeeper for beekeepers. Made from the best quality components to ensure they provide the best protection. Celtic Beehive covers will also prolong the life of your hive/hives, designed to be used with most of the off-the-shelf bee hives. We highly recommend that you check all the measurements below, as there are a few different variations of designs and roof sizes may differ to the one I have based this design on. We will be making them for all types of hive over the next few months, custom sizes will be available in non busy periods, prices will differ depending on size and type, we will also have the hive hats (the roof covers) listed separately in our other listings.
