Hot Box Beehive Winterizer
The Hot Box Winterizer separates the warm air inside the hive from the cold outside air, reducing condensation within the hive. Insulation material in the center of the Hot Box helps retain heat within the hive.

Includes bee escape holes which are the correct size for bees, but prevent small animals like mice from entering the hive. Made of solid pine. Fits any standard Langstroth Hive.

Inner Cover: Winter 8 Frame
This 8 Frame Inner Cover is made with the same rigid standards as our 10-Frame Inner Cover. The 3/8" plywood is glued and nailed into a rabbet in the pine rim. This is the strongest inner cover on the market today. A hole is cut in the inner cover to enable you to use a plastic bee escape. Also we cut a dado in the top rim for better ventilation and as an upper entrance/escape for the bees.ÿProfessionally Assembled.
Escape Screen: 8 Frame
This is a great way to take honey off. The bees do not get upset and most of the time they will all leave the super. You place the Escape Screen under the capped honey you want to take off with the screened triangle facing down. The bees will leave the honey super through the Escape Screen into the brood nest and they cannot return. Rate of clearing will vary with the weather. This Escape Screen works much faster and better than the Bee Escape.
