Hi all Murray said... > There are very few cases where the bees manage to remove this stuff. Even where it is removed there is still 'tell tale' evidence of the mark. I have never tried 'touch up' paint as such, but I have used brushing cellulose and that certainly sticks better than some water based queen paints that are available Best Regards & 73s, Dave Cushman...
