Painting Instructions:
Polyurethane is not UV-resistant. Apply a protective coating after 1–2 years of outdoor use. Lightly sand the surface before painting to ensure adhesion. A properly applied coating can last up to 10 years without repainting.

Potential Disadvantages:
Unpainted hives may have a shorter lifespan and may peel over time. Minor air bubbles or imperfections from manufacturing do not affect functionality and are not considered defects.
