Paint and stains
« on: February 18, 2013, 07:48:43 PM »
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....

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.
