Got an issue with rain getting into the roof of flow hive 2, I’m guessing wind blowing rain through a tiny gap in the front and back gable? Would it be a good idea to use a sealant along outer edge to keep it dry [image|375x500](https://forum.honeyflow.com/uploads/short-url/vF7r2iNjHgXew5vr8F2cOusVfii.jpeg)

No issues… use of low voc sealant is favourable as to not freak the bees out with smell.
