Hive Inspection Cloths are used when doing inspections and/or harvesting. Handmade in Arkansas by a beekeeper, constructed with heavy cotton and weighted to ensure the cloth stays in place.
To use drape over the opened hive. Simply fold back to inspect or remove frames. The cloth keeps the remaining portion of the hive covered; helping to keep bees calm, keeping other insects from entering the hive, and wind out on a cool day.
