Did you already know?
We only use untreated solid wood with all its natural properties and characteristics. The weather in the form of sun, rain and cold as well as fluctuating humidity affects all dried and sawn wood if it is not protected.
Our tip:
Paint the hives up to three times, roughening the surface with sandpaper between coats. Then refresh periodically depending on the condition and personal preference.
After the bees have moved in, the hives develop their own room climate. The temperature and humidity inside the hive differs from the climate outside. As a result, condensation can form under the lid, mold can form and the hive parts can crack. For better air circulation, we recommend raising the hive on Bee Hive Stands and removing the Sticky Boards after the Varroa check.
