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 177 reviewsExcellent service and great quality product! I'm very happy with my 3-layer ventilated suit - no more stings and much cooler in the warm weather.
Fantastic Suit. Loved it so much this is my second. First suit still going strong but wanted a spare. Easy to order, great price and fast delivery.
Great jacket and a really good price, feel protected and well ventilated. Prompt delivery thank you.
When i first started beekeeping I used a Jacket & Trousers combo. This was getting a bit worn so - after a bumper spring harvest/sales of OSR honey - I decided to treat myself to a full body suit and went for the Pro Series. While getting a full 3 layer suit on takes a bit more time, its worth the effort. Having thoroughly inspected 3 hives, I've never felt so safe. The design tips the hood well forward and away from your face...and the front opening drop-down face mesh panel is really useful. You can dispense with wearing anything much under the suit, as the 3 layer thickness effectively protects you from stings. You're therefore kept much cooler and can comfortably work on for long. Great product !
Thank you for the foundation sheets.
They were very good!
This suit is much lighter than wearing a heavy cotton jacket. I ordered my husband a size up and I’m pleased I did as it’s a perfect fit for him wearing clothes underneath. Material is of great quality and the price is outstanding for this type of suit. I will buy again from this store. Very very pleased.
Works very well, very comfortable and high quality.
Excellent value for money, fits well - just what a beekeeper needs!
very comfortable and well made, arrived very quickly.
Excellent value just waiting for the swarm to move in!
