A large number of tools used in beekeeping are made of wood, such as bee houses, hives, storage boxes, free-standing structures, protective roofs, sheds, etc. They can also benefit from a protective coating against weather and environmental influences, as unprotected wood can become infected with blue stain, fungi and lichen, or even rot over time.




Disadvantages of conventional paints


Hives are often treated with petroleum-based paints or linseed oil. Their resistance to weather influences such as moisture, rain and fungal attack is far lower than that of LIXUM PRO glazes. Oils wash out quickly. Long-lasting protection and care of the wood is lacking, which results in an annual renovation coat.




Hive protection varnishes or solvent-based glazes are applied as a layer on the wood. Temperature fluctuations cause the wood to swell, shrink or crack. The varnished surface bursts. Moisture penetrates and destroys the wood in the long term. The solvents and chemical compositions in the varnishes and glazes can affect the bees.




LIXUM PRO glazes, on the other hand, penetrate the wood to protect it from the inside against harsh weather and temperature fluctuations. The wood stays beautiful and dimensionally stable for a long time - in any weather. In this sense, LIXUM PRO glazes are a biological miracle. And at that price!
