Can TANALISED or TANATONE pressure treated timber be use for the construction of bee hives?
TANALISED E or TANATONE pressure treated timber is suitable for use in a bee hive. However, you should not use it for internal elements of the hive that will come into direct contact with honey. Prior to use, you should ensure that the timber is in a dry condition; two weeks post treatment is usually sufficient time to allow for drying although this is weather and storage condition dependent. Please see our Code of Practice and Consumer Information Sheet for more information on the use of TANALISED E pressure treated timber.
