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.

Let customers speak for us
from 166 reviewsvery comfortable and well made, arrived very quickly.
Excellent value just waiting for the swarm to move in!
Haven’t used it yet, though is really good quality item. Was really surprised at the quality considering the price point.
As usual great quality, carefully packed and delivered promptly. Happy to recommend AGS.
i'm 6ft 1 and bought a 3XL, which fits nicely. Have worn suit a few times and feels and now used to putting it on. Feels like it's well made, comfortable and i particularly like the fencing hood which you can open. As ever, great service from AGS
Very good suit. Well made, robust. Heavy but once it's on, that doesn't notice. Love the pockets.
Perfect be space and kinder for the bees than the plastic grid.
Great fit great quality and a great price I wasn’t stung once
As always, great products from AGS and good value too.
Great service and good quality for the price. A very happy little bee keeper in the making.
Very nice jacket. I knew it was oversized so got M (I am 181cm, 80kg). The neck has too much excess fabric, it is not causing a problem but maybe it can be adjusted on a future design.
well made frames, easy to asseemble, efficient service. I'm now a repeat customer
Good quality easy to put together frames
