cappings
Tops placed over
Cappings are coverings or top layers, often referring to the thin wax seals bees build over honeycomb cells filled with ripe honey.
Beekeepers remove these cappings before extracting honey: She sliced off the cappings with a heated knife.
More generally, cappings can be any material used to cap or cover something: the cappings on fence posts.
