10-Frame Migratory Hive Lid – Wax-Dipped and Painted

Protect the top of your Langstroth hive with a strong, ready-to-use migratory lid from Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies. Designed for compatible 10-frame hive boxes, this assembled lid sits flush with the upper box to create a practical and compact hive setup.

Unlike loose or unassembled beehive lids, this product arrives ready to install. The sturdy construction uses both screws and nails, while the combination of a tin cover, Weathertex board and treated timber rim provides dependable protection for regular apiary use.

Furthermore, four built-in vents allow air to move through the upper section of the hive. This additional ventilation can help reduce trapped heat and moisture, particularly during warm weather or periods of high humidity.

Three-Layer Lid Construction

The lid combines three practical materials:

Tin Top:
The outer tin surface helps protect the hive from direct exposure to rain and changing weather conditions.

Weathertex Board:
The internal board adds structure beneath the metal cover and creates a solid barrier above the hive box.

Wax-Dipped and Painted Rim:
The timber rim is wax-dipped and painted to improve its resistance to outdoor conditions and reduce ongoing maintenance.

Together, these components create a durable wooden beehive lid suitable for backyard and commercial apiaries.

Four Vents for Better Airflow

The rim contains four ventilation openings. As a result, warm and humid air can move more freely around the upper part of the colony.

Good hive ventilation is especially useful during hot Australian summers. However, beekeepers should continue monitoring colony conditions and manage entrances, insulation and airflow according to the season and local climate.
