It is a flat plate with thick edges. 
There are large round vents in the plane of the cover. 
Plastic "spiders" are placed in these openings or they are closed with tight styrofoam plugs.

A stick in a polystyrene hive is the most important element through which the ventilation of the bee nest runs. 
The amount of air exchange is governed by closing or opening a certain number of holes in the plane of the cover.

Through the round holes in the cover you can feed the bees with syrup or invert using twist jars. 
For this purpose, jars with perforated caps (upside down) are placed on the "spiders" placed in the
openings of the cover.

Crown board is suitable for both the Wielkopolska 10-frame hive and the Ostrowska hive 
(both types of hives have the same body edge lengths, and thus also covers). 
It is the most important element that not only provides optimal ventilation to the bee colony, 
but also enables it to be fed.

The crown board is placed on the upper edges of the uppermost body occupied by the bees, 
so that the distance between it and the upper strips of the frames is less than 1 cm. 
With such a distance, the bees will not build undesirable combs in this place. 
You do not have to remember about this distance or measure it specifically - the cover for the hive wielkopolski / 
Ostrowska has been constructed in such a way that these distances are kept. 
All you have to do is put the cover on the body, adjusting it to the frames.

There are 5 holes in the cover, which you can plug with polystyrene plugs or the so-called spider strainers. 
The upper bucket feeder is most often installed in the middle hole. 
You can also feed the colonies with twist jars (screwed with perforated caps) which are placed upside down on the 
spiders.

When "spider strainers" are placed in the openings of the cover, the bees themselves regulate the ventilation in the 
hive and seal it with putty. This allows you to obtain pure propolis.
It is enough to take out the spiders and place them in the refrigerator for a short time, and then crumble the 
hardened bee bread.

Crown board wielkopolska / Ostrowskiej has been factory painted and does not require any additional maintenance.

We also recommend chisels for the cover, which are perfect for opening even very sealed hives, 
we also offer various uncappers.
