I've got a peaked roof lid on a Langstroth hive in my backyard. I
acquired it with a purchase some years ago, then chose to keep it
with the hobby hives I've got. Utterly impractical in a commercial
sense (stacking hives two deep on the truck???) but it looks OK in
the garden... >>
Well now ytou have to understand that beekeeping in town on any scale
involves
"hey buddy can I put a couple of hives in your yard"
So a cover that looks good in the garden would be a plus
