> is their any reason not to paint single walled hives?
I dont see any need of painting the inside of the hive. It is never
exposed to the elements, so really, by painting it, your not protecting it
from anything. And I think the bees would prefer you to leave it bare.
Anyway, the bees polish the inside of the hive from one end to the
other with proplois, so I think by painting it you are wasteing time and
money
