It's not my intent to make this thread a "beat up on BeeMax" rant, but I own six BeeMax hives and about 150 wood Langstroth hives. The BeeMax hives seem to do fine, but the are not exactly interchangable with other wood Langstroth components. They are not impervious to ants, especially the large black ants. I painted half of mine and left the other half unpainted. After four years, no difference in the paint test.
