Make sure your wood treatment is bee friendly & only do the outsides.
If they are made from red cedar they wont need any treatment.

Good luck!---Always worth setting a bait hive up as a [very] faint chance while you're waiting

Congrats! That all sounds very positive!
I am still waiting for my 2 hives... about a year after I ordered them... Mr B will have a big, long gray beard by the time they arrive. Or worse still - I will.
