Hive Hugger® 10 Frame Triple Medium Set: Crown + Wrap High Density

The 10 Frame Triple Medium Hive Hugger Set combines The Crown and Wrap to reduce temperature fluctuations in your hive throughout the year, allowing your bees to focus on developing brood and producing honey. Designed for existing 10-frame triple medium hives, the two-part system provides high-performance insulation above and around the hive to produce a “condensing hive” consistent with the latest research.
