How To: Apply a Wood Treatment to your Hive Boxes | Beekeeping 101 from a Beekeeper Supply Store 🐝

In this How To, John shows us how to apply a wood treatment to our hive boxes using a product called ECO Wood Treatment. For beginner beekeepers, paint can seem like a great option for coating your boxes, however by using a wood treatment on your hive boxes, you allow the wood to breathe and regulate moisture as the hive colony grows inside.

The ECO wood treatment is non-toxic and easy to apply to your hive boxes. Follow John's instructions (or the instructions on the box) for this simple solution. If you have any questions, let us know by leaving a comment!
