The most efficient method of painting your new HiveIQ beehives will depend on how many you need to paint. For the hobbyist beekeeper with a small number of hives, we recommend a 100mm fluffy paint roller. These are available from any hardware or paint store at a low cost.
How many coats? Apply a minimum of two coats of paint.
Use only water based, exterior grade acrylic paint.
CAUTION: Some new wash and wear paints can damage the polystyrene.
