>>Most commercial beekeepers do not have telescoping outer covers, and do not use inner covers.  They use a flat
outer cover, and the homosote board goes immediately under it.

Are the edges of the homosote board protected from the rain then?  It seems the homosote board absorbs more water from the rain/snow than the colony.  It probably loses as much water through operation though.

Where do you put the 3/8" cedar piece - in the front, back, one of the sides?

And how big is your reduced entrance at the bottom?
