Hello Folks
I am brand new to beekeeping and due to get my first nuc colony in April, I am setting up my apiary building my hive stand and preparing the area for my hive. I will be getting the hive in a month before the bees and would like to paint it white although my supplier states it is made from larch and does not require any preservative treatment.
Can anyone recommend a suitable paint for the exterior of the hive which will not harm the bees?
Kind Regards
Tony Joyce
