Buy hive paint for bee hive online

What is the purpose of a hive coating?

The hive must be protected from external influences for the bees themselves. So that they can care for their queen and produce honey in peace, they should feel comfortable. In principle you can set up the hives naturally also without a coating. However, so that you do not have to replace them so often, painting is an important factor.

Basically, it serves to protect the wood and keep pests away. In some cases, it may make sense to use multiple coats of paint. If you wish to have a certain colour, you can also choose from different finishes. The colour itself is mainly important for the appearance. Perhaps you would like your hives to be a real eye-catcher in the garden or in the field. Then choose from:

• Brown
• Green
• Natural green
• May green
• White

Impregnation and protection for hives

The hives are the shelter and home for the bees. Here they work diligently and produce the desired honey. But they also seek protection from the weather in them. It is therefore all the more important that you also protect the hives from external influences. A coat of paint is necessary for this. In principle you can provide each wood with a weather protection. Partly, however, there are also special coatings, for example for:

• Pine
• Oak
• Walnut

We are convinced of the coating on natural oil basis. This is free of harmful substances. In our assortment you can look for coatings for inside and outside. It is optimal if you periodically reapply the oil. In this way you ensure that the hives are fully protected and the bees in them are not harmed.

Do you often have problems with ants or putty in your hives? In that case we at Beekeeping Professional can offer you a very good solution. With uncleaned sheep wool grease you have a comprehensive protection. However, only apply the ant stop on the outside.

Styrofoam, hard foam or wood - pay attention to the right hive coating

What material are your hives made of? You as a beekeeper have given a lot of thought to which material is suitable for the hive. Particularly frequently the Beuten are manufactured from wood, but also hard foam or Styrofoam are suitable. When looking for the right paint, you should always pay attention to the material for which they are suitable. Many of our paints and coatings can be used on all materials. Sometimes it makes sense to mix them with water. We will be happy to advise you on this subject.

We also have glazes in our range that are only made for wood. These are special weatherproof wood glazes. Vegetable oils are used which penetrate into the wood after application and protect it from weathering.

No hive painting without the right accessories

The plastic honeycombs can last for some time without painting, but it is better to protect them right from the start. To do this, you need not only the right hive paint, but also the accessories. Here we have looked around and included the right set in our range. Consisting of a painter's roller and tray, you have the option of putting the glaze or paint directly into the tray and starting to paint.

Depending on the product, it is important to repeat the painting at regular intervals. With coloured solutions, the appearance certainly plays a role. If the paint comes off in some places, this can be annoying. With the set, you always have everything at hand to quickly apply a coat of paint. The surface is easy to clean because it is made of plastic. Cleaning with water is often sufficient.

Glue and putty for repairing hives

Just because a hive may show the first cracks, it does not have to be replaced directly. You have the possibility to work here with a special glue or putty. You can also order this online from us. It is important that a clean repair takes place. Our putty is ready to use. You can clean the area to be glued and then apply the glue directly. After this has hardened sufficiently, you can carry out a new hive coating. Our putty is supplied in a practical tube. This prevents it from drying out after use.
