Hive Hugger® Crown Only

The Hive Hugger Crown is a vacuum-insulated top panel designed to reduce temperature fluctuations above the colony. With an R-value of 32 in a compact 0.8" profile, The Crown provides high-performance insulation while supporting a more stable hive environment throughout the year.

Key Benefits

• R-32 insulation helps reduce heat loss through the top of the hive.
• Helps keep the hive ceiling above the dew point, directing condensation toward cooler side walls and away from the colony overhead.
• Compact 0.8" vacuum-insulated design delivers high insulation performance without adding bulk.
