Paint and stains

(1/1)

lcashmack:
Are there recommendations out there for what types to use, or not to use, to prep new equipment for the upcoming season? Latex, oil based, stain, varnish, urethane....

Busy Bee Farm:
I quit painting my hives several years ago.  The only thing I now use is two coats of boiled linseed oil on the outside of the equipment.  They weather really well and don't end up standing out like a sore thumb.  Keeps the curiosity seekers away if you know what I mean.
