Beehive enclosure with moisture elimination

摘要

An enclosure cover for collecting and disposing of unwanted moisture within honeybee hives during periods of temperature and humidity conditions that promote alternate freezing and thawing. An internal cover surface collects and condenses moisture produced by the bees' metabolism which otherwise may be deposited on the internal surface of the cover as frost and later thaw, causing droplets of cold water to fall on the clustered bees. The enclosure cover is arranged to direct and channel collected water from the condensation surface and discharge the same outside of the hive.
