These easy to use – slip-on, slip-off – UV treated polypropylene wraps contain environmentally friendly R8 fiberglass, just the insulating layer your bees need to winter successfully. The Bee Cozy protects your hives from freezing winter temperatures and provides a windbreak for breezy locations. Slip the Bee Cozy on your bee hives in late fall to prevent unnecessary heat loss and conserve feed stores.  Your bees will brood up faster, so you can split earlier in the spring and be ready for the honey flow. The Bee Cozy helps beekeepers to ‘wrap up’ overwintering and move into spring with stronger, healthier brood and bees!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe stock these in the following sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10 frame 2-story (2 deeps)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10 frame 1-story (1 deep)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e8  frame  2-story (2 deeps)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: these wraps are about 4\" longer than needed to cover the specified hive configuration, and the excess material gets folded down after installation.

As the bees cluster for warmth, they create humidity, which rises to the top of the hive and becomes condensation. If the condensation isn't absorbed by something, it can rain back down as cold water on the bees, causing severe stress or death. Our winter chip box has a large capacity for up to 5 pounds of wood chips, burlap, or other absorbing material \u003cstrong\u003e(not included)\u003c\/strong\u003e to help absorb and dissipate the moisture out the top. The sides of the box are 1\/4\" shorter than the ends, which allows for moisture to dissipate out. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also has a 1.5\" cavity below, which is a great space for feeding winter sugar or early spring pollen patties.
