I've been told years ago that bees tolerate zinc naphthanate better than
copper. I've used zinc with good results but I used it only on the outer
surfaces and gave a good airing before painting and giving to the bees. I've
also seen copper napthanate used on floors both inside and out with a good
airing with good results.
