Clearly A. Clearly B. And you left out a bunch of answers: D) reduce propolized lid lockdown, E) offer spacing so wind can get under the telescoping lid & blow it off, F) confuse beekeepers with things like which side is up, where's the notch, where did I put it...??!, G) give termites & rot one more place to work, H) a spot to put a feeding jar with minimized robbing opportunities (hey, got one good point at least). And I'll support C begrudgingly, as a space for bees to build even more burr comb because over the top of every frame below isn't enough? In case you didn't guess, I don't like telescoping covers. I actually have my own version of a top entrance, but that's another discussion.
I like your answer. Youve had the same experience I've had. Lol. I won't use them in the summer time. But in the winter I use them to direct moisture to the front wall of the hive. Other than that though, I don't use them often.
Heck yeah buddy good to see ya
Y'all pulling Saturday?
As cover I use chicken/dog etc.feed bag cut to size and 2" pink foam. Cheap and easy.
I use dog food bags for almost everything. 😁

Do you have a video of your version of a top entrance? I'm curious.
