For other beginners like me, I may explain why I make
my inner covers with one deep side and one thin side.
I use the deep side to clip a plastic bee escape
(Nicot, imported). I let permanently 4 screws in the
deep side used to clip the plastic device when needed
so that the inner cover is transformed into a bee
escape. Just one equipment instead of 2. But this
requires that the ventilation hole is made in the deep
side of the inner cover. The telescopic roof is placed
without inner cover for 24h. When harvested is done, I
then un-clip the plastic bee escape (losange shape,
same principle as triangular shape of Quebec bee
escape board) and put back the inner cover.
