Safeguard your hives with Mann Lake's Acrylic Flat Latex Paint, designed specifically for beehives. This top-tier latex paint shields hive bodies from moisture, UV rays, and harsh weather conditions, ensuring your colonies remain secure year-round.
Pair it with our oil-based exterior primer, Gloss Oil Primer (available in 5-gallon sizes), to create a long-lasting, durable base that further boosts protection.
Enhance Your Hive Boxes
Beehive maintenance gets a stylish upgrade with our range of paints and finishes. Customize your apiary with the best paint options, from light to dark colors, available in our collection for a blend of protection and visual appeal.
Whether you’re coating with oil-based paints or adding two coats for a final coat for a decorative flair, you can create a hive aesthetic that’s both functional and beautiful. Take special care to seal edges and other exposed areas to increase the longevity of the coating.
Special Products for Bee Hive Care
In addition to our premium hive paints, we offer Oxalic Acid Wood Bleach to tackle stains on raw or stripped wood surfaces, ensuring a smooth finish for wood furniture or hive projects.
For added durability, consider Paraffin Wax to seal and protect the wooden exteriors of your beehives, providing added protection for the bottom board and hive stand as well. This extra layer against the elements helps prevent moisture damage and ensures your coating will stick effectively to all surfaces.
