Maxima Hive Cover/Feeder Combo

Cost saving design.

I like these tops because of the simple built in feeders. The cut-outs in the solid feed side allows sugar or sugar bricks to just sit in top the frames. I plan to try it as a propolis collector at some point. The impression on the top of the lid is the right width for our ratchet straps to fit across. I have set my smoker on top with no issues, yet. Hoping that will stay the case. I do wish there was a way for the lid to telescope over the side of the top box. Since I use wood boxes, I would like more weather protection when the boxes don't fit exactly.

I have not started using the feeder yet but it looks to be a great top feeder.

Seems to work good. I like the lid to keep bees out of syrup tank.
