Inner Cover
2. Inner Cover
The inner cover rests on top of the uppermost super and beneath the outer telescoping cover. It prevents the bees from gluing down the outer cover to the super with propolis and wax. It also provides an air space just under the outer cover for insulation.

During summer, the inner cover protects the interior of the hive from the direct rays of the sun.
During winter, it prevents moisture-laden air from directly contacting cold surfaces.
The center hole in the inner cover may be fitted with a Porter bee escape to aid in removing bees from full supers of honey.
