5-Frame Cypress Metal Capped Telescoping Cover

The telescoping cover protects a nuc the same way it protects a full hive — it's just sized down. This 5-frame cypress cover overhangs the box slightly and wears a metal cap, so rain sheds off instead of soaking into the wood.

What You Get

• Metal-capped top — blocks sun and rain from reaching the wood, the main reason covers rot
• Overhanging sides shed water away from the box
• 7/8" cypress construction, naturally rot-resistant
• Fits standard 5-frame nuc equipment
• Choose unpainted or primed and painted

Telescoping vs. Migratory

Telescoping gives better weather protection for a nuc that's staying put. If you're moving nucs between yards or hauling them to catch swarms, our migratory cover stacks flush and tighter for transport.
