Outer Telescoping Cover
. Outer Telescoping Cover
An outer telescoping cover protects hive parts from the weather. It fits over the inner cover and the top edge of the uppermost hive body. The top is normally covered with a sheet of metal to prevent weathering and leaking.

Removal of the outer cover, with the inner cover in place, disturbs few bees within the hive and allows the beekeeper to more easily smoke the bees prior to colony manipulation.
Beekeepers who routinely move hives use a simple cover, often referred to as a migratory lid. Covers of this type fit flush with the sides of the hive body and may or may not extend over the front and back. In addition to being lightweight and easy to remove, these covers allow colonies to fit tightly against each other when hives are being transported.
