Title: Fiberglass tops ......
Post by: SteveSC on October 05, 2006, 01:56:25 PM
I ran cross some heavy white fiberglass telescoping tops and inner covers the other day.  One of the tops had a 1982 date on the inside of it.  I can't find anything like these on any bee supplier sites.  

They're well made and heavier than the wood ones we use now.  The inner covers are the same way - good stuff.  They'll never wear out and they have built-in venting.

Has anyone ever used these before...?  I don't they're made any longer. Thanks..
