Painting Instructions:
Polyurethane is not UV-resistant, so we recommend applying UV-stable paint to extend the hive's lifespan to up to 30 years. Expose the hive to sunlight for 1–2 years before painting for best results. Sand lightly before applying paint.

Potential Disadvantages:
Unpainted parts may peel over time, shortening the lifespan. Minor imperfections from manufacturing do not affect performance or functionality.
