>I've chosen to paint my 2 urdan hives fire engine red
 
Bees have very limited vision in the red range.  I don't know how much
visual cues on the hive itself play into their finding their way home,
but it might be interesting to see if they are somewhat disoriented by
the color.
 
Now UV-reflective paint...
