>>They must really think we're gullible.

The distributor personally painted some hives at my place.  I sent one to
Jerry Bromenshenk.  He confirmed an R value of about 6.5.  The hive I sent
was improperly painted, so that the paint cracked (cold day, not enough
time).  Still an impressive figure!

I have not yet had the opportunity to test the painted boxes.
