Colingmill 2-Pack 10-Frame Inner Hive Covers with Entrance Feeders

Product description

Complete kit for managing a 10-frame hive: the set contains two inner covers and two entrance feeders, providing the quantity most hobbyists need for multiple hives or backups.

Thoughtful ventilation and insulation: each inner cover features perforation and a ventilation area intended to promote air circulation while offering insulation to help shield the colony from temperature extremes. The layout is intended to sit between the topmost brood box and the hive top for routine use.

Materials and build: the inner covers are manufactured from weather-resistant fir wood, chosen for durability and dimensional stability. The entrance feeders are made from aluminum to resist corrosion and allow repeated use without rapid wear.

Dimensions and fit: the inner cover measures approximately 19.88 x 16.34 x 0.98 inches, designed for standard 10-frame hives. Each entrance feeder measures about 2.87 x 0.59 inches and fits the cover’s feeding hole for straightforward jar or top-box feeding.

How it’s used: place the inner cover atop the uppermost hive body and set a jar or feeder into the feeding aperture for controlled syrup or liquid feeding. The ventilation perforations help keep air moving through the hive while the cover adds a layer of insulation in cooler weather.

Pros

  • Solid fir wood construction for the inner covers
  • Aluminum entrance feeders resist corrosion
  • Sized to fit standard 10-frame hives and top feeders

Cons

  • Recessed cover can hold rainwater if left exposed
  • Some covers include a rim notch for an entrance
  • Ventilation slot may attract robbing in certain conditions

VerdictThis two-piece set gives hive owners a practical way to add insulation, controlled airflow, and a simple top-feeding option. The fir inner covers are sturdy and designed for 10-frame boxes, while the aluminum entrance feeders slot into the feeding aperture for jar or top-box feeders. Expect reliable construction and easy installation, though note the recessed design can collect rainwater and some

Reviews

  1. Charles McCumber 5/5

    Simple circular opening works for top feeders

    I like these inner covers; they make placing top-box feeders simple.

  2. Eric H. 5/5

    Sturdy covers, sensible to buy multiple

    Solidly constructed inner covers. Buying more than one is practical for hive work.

  3. Paul Neubert 4/5

    Good value; note the rim entrance notch

    The set arrived with loose jar lids (I prefer that) and the lids are pre-drilled for feeding. The only downside was a rim notch for an entrance that wasn’t shown in the photos; I can block it but would have liked that detail up front.

  4. John Paul 5/5

    Timely delivery and solid build

    Delivered quickly and well constructed.

  5. Dave 4/5

    A few practical drawbacks to note

    It’s unclear from the listing that there’s a ventilation slot; some beekeepers worry this can invite robbing. Also, the recessed cover can collect rainwater rather than shedding it.

  6. DJK 5/5

    Fits mason jars well

    Works well for feeding; openings match a regular-mouth mason jar.

  7. Denise F. 5/5

    Well made and fits standard hives

    Sturdy, fits frames well, and appears to be built to last.
