Has anyone ever used the "shou sugi ban" wood treatment method on their hive?
It seams like it would work well on pine but I'm not sure if the bees would like it because of the dark color or maybe the charcoal would effect them in a bad way?!?

That looks pretty nice. They are probably using a good wood sealer, most paint companies have their own name for it.
I would think it would work real well without a sealer. It might even save your hive in a grass fire.

First you burn the wood then linseed oil and then burn again.
Such a beautiful deep color.

I thought the oil was supposed to be tung oil. I never thought to try linseed oil. Linseed oil seems to stay a little bit tacky/sticky, but maybe not after being burnt heh.
