British National 6" Deep Cedar Hive Roof
Designed for use with British National hives, this extra deep 6" cedar roof provides enhanced protection from the elements, helping to shield your hive from wind, rain, and temperature changes.
The increased depth offers improved coverage compared to standard roofs, making it a reliable choice for UK conditions.
Constructed from high-quality cedar with strong dovetail joints and a galvanised metal top for added durability and weather resistance.
Supplied fully assembled, ready to place directly on top of your hive for immediate use.
Fully compatible with standard British National hive components, including brood boxes, supers, and crown boards.
Key features:
- Suitable for British National bee hives
- Extra deep 6" design for improved weather protection
- Made from durable cedar with galvanised metal top
- Strong dovetail joints for long-lasting construction
- Supplied fully assembled and ready to use
Care & Maintenance:
Cedar is naturally durable, however we recommend applying a bee-safe wood preservative to the exterior for additional protection.
Allow the item to stand outdoors for several days before placing it on your hive, giving the timber time to acclimatise.
To help maintain the condition and appearance of the wood, re-treatment is recommended every few years. Avoid treating internal surfaces.

from 188 reviewsGreat value in comparison with other sellers.
Well made leather section of the glove, soft and comfortable. The 3 layer forearm protection has a tighter fit at the opening so no bees can work their way under. Happy so far.
Great value jacket. Seems to be very robustly made and well put together. Quality feel to the garment.
Good quality and perfect fit. Thanks
Good quality stitching
Outstanding quality overall. The order arrived fast, and the embroidered logo features clean, durable stitching at the perfect size.
Fast free delivery highly recommended🐝
Excellent suit. Great air flow.
5 year beekeeper, starting to understand this beekeeping malarkey. I worked out that I don't need a full suit every time I go to the apairy as some of the jobs are 2-3 minutes at each hive. Decided to get a jacket as quicker to put on and off and not as hot. This works. Full protection, good zips and tight waistband. For the price it's amazing. It will get some use.
Excellent jacket, the third one I’ve bought of this design. Having worn both styles of veil, for ladies I think the fencing one sits better and doesn’t flop around as the other sort.
Great company and prompt delivery at a good price. Definitely recommend.
Fantastic quality from AGS.
I personally have used their gear for around 7 years and haven't ever received 1 sting whilst in them.
Over the last couple of years the whole family has switched over.
The triple layer is breathable, hard-wearing and super protection. The suit is substantial but also light enough to work in all day comfortably.
Plenty of pockets all where needed.
I highly recommend this suit and AGS on the whole.
Exceptionally good suit and value for money
Great suit, does exactly what it says on the tin
Great quality and value for money!
I like the jacket and much prefer the round hat to the fencing veil. I think I ordered a size bigger than I needed as I have long arms, but it's fine. Definitely cooler than a cotton suit!
