Hi guys,
Just splashed a little cash on the bees and just bought a new hive stand (specifically a Thorne national hive stand with alighting board). I want to keep this stand in as good of a condition as possible and my mind goes to wood preservatives. So the question is, should you treat a hive stand with wood preservatives? What type should I use (I know some are highly toxic to insects so going to avoid them)? Should I just not bother? Anything else I could use?
Thanks
Joe
