I read recently about using beeswax to waterproof hives, possibly with turps. But now I can't seem to track it down.
Is this a standard thing to do and if so could someone give me a 'recipe'? At the moment I haven't painted or treated my hives with anything and am a bit worried about their water fastness over winter!
