8 Frame Hive Tops

Our 8 Frame Hive Tops from West Alabama Bee Company are built for durability, weather protection, and dependable performance in Southern beekeeping conditions. Choose from a traditional cypress telescoping top or a low-profile migratory top for standard 8 frame Langstroth equipment.

Available Styles

Telescoping Top – Cypress

• Constructed from durable cypress
• Crafted by skilled Amish craftsmen in Southern Tennessee
• Overhang design for added rain and weather protection

Migratory Top – PVC or Cypress

PVC migratory tops provide a durable, low-maintenance option for outdoor use. A limited quantity of our traditional cypress migratory tops is also available while supplies last. Once the remaining cypress migratory tops are sold, the migratory style will be available in PVC only.

Our cypress hive tops offer the natural moisture and decay resistance of cypress, while the PVC migratory top provides a durable alternative well suited for Alabama and Southeastern beekeeping conditions.
