Wax dipping is a preservation process that cooks the wax into the wood. As the water is rapidly boiled out, the wax is pulled deep into the board providing protection from moisture and rot from the inside out. A proper wax blend of Micro-Crystaline and Paraffin waxes provides the best qualities of both waxes resulting in a product estimated to last 25 or more years. A painted box is estimated to last approximately 10 plus years if properly maintained.
Wax coating is applying a thin layer of wax on the exterior of the board. It is a water-resistant coating that will come off in a relatively short time. When it flakes or melts off, it will leave a board you cannot paint unless all of the wax is taken off. This process is fast and cheap. It is usually used on cheaply made imported Chinese equipment. These hives are often sold on Amazon and unfortunately at a few beekeeping supply stores in the United States.
