We need to pick up some foam board too. Are you painting it to protect it?

I love how you're helping them.

Protection and the black paint or any dark color will increase warmth on the exterior, it also acts as a wind break on the bare hive body. Light colors reflect, dark colors absorb. If you look at available hive wraps they are black.

Gotcha, that makes sense!
