Painting the flowhive with tung oil

Just wondering if when I’m painting the Flowhive If I should paint the front landing pad on the bottom board… I know I don’t want to paint the inside of the hive but wondering about the landing step? Will it discourage the bee’s?

Yes paint it
No it won’t discourage the bees

Like Dee just said, bees don’t n won’t care one “I oooo Da” as my mom use to say ! Enjoy n good luck !

You will want to treat any part of the hive that is exposed to the elements. The landing board would definitely be included in that, so I would.
