Features and Benefits of Honeycomb Hives Vented Gable Roofs: 

• HCH Gable roof system incorporates Venturi air circulation which allows moisture to escape in summer and promotes convection air circulation in winter to maintain more constant hive temperature to help bees stay dry.
   
• The roofs have telescoping fit or hinged versions that allow easy opening of the roofs.
  
  
• Sturdy cam locks are available to secure from wind and pests.
