It is the resin or sap from a pine tree that has been dried. Baseball pitchers use it in a powder form to help get a better grip on the ball.

how long does this process last and how often do you re-dip your hive

good way to protect the entire hive box as compared to painting just the outside of the box… good idea to always have a fire extinguisher handy – safey is always part of the plan.

Great video! The background is beautiful. The fog, birds chirping – it looks like you live in the Smokey Mountains!

You have a lot of bee hives!
