White is a typical color for beehives, but
sometimes you will see them in yellow and other bright colors. Does the color
matter? No, not really. Some beekeepers have their own preferences and believe
one color is better than another. I’ve heard about beekeepers who say yellow
hives are better for mating. It seems there is really no hard scientific proof
that one color is better than another, but I guess I would suggest painting
your beehives a color that you like to look at because you will be the one
looking at it! Don’t paint the inside and also, if you live in hot
temperatures, painting a hive black may cause the hive to become too hot for
your bees.
