For winter, I have the inner cover notch facing down. I cover the inner hole with duct tape, place 1.5" insulation (blue foam) on top of the cover, and the outer telescoping cover goes on top of the insulation. The practical effect of this is to create an exposed upper entrance, one which is not cover by the telescoping cover. My observation is that the bees make good and frequent use of this entrance.
