Painting the hives

Just a quick post to show progress on the hives. They got two coats of paint today. We tossed around a few differet color possibilities, but ended up going with the color of the house trim. No, not because we wanted everything all matchy matchy, but because we already had the paint. That's a lesson we are gradually learning about farming.. Use what you have. To that I would add....as long as it looks good. Can't beat that outta me!!! As you can see from the pics, I had a shadow during the process. It is pretty typical to have a helper on almost any project. I love it.
