My neighbor (~ one mile away) is starting into beekeeping and has purchased 15 medium boxes and spray painted them with an outdoor paint. He asked me if the smell would be harmful to his bees (he will get three packages in early April) or and possible over spray that may have gotten on to his frames. I have never used a spray so I have no idea what to tell him so I thought I would ask the forum as many answers are available here. -Mike
As long as he only painted the outsides it should be all good.

If you are really hard up for problems and something to worry about-----Nah!
My bees haven't died from my out door paint yet :-D
Thanks for the input. If there is no chance of harm, I may just spray if I get more new boxes as I do not like having to paint inside of the hand holds. I am lazy and usually used rollers. -Mike
He works for peanut butter cups, butter fingers or gummy worms :)

The only way to paint. All sides and edges at one time. Two trees, a rope and a spray gun
