The outside of a beehive often appears golden due to the bees' use of propolis, a resinous substance they gather from tree buds and other plant sources. Propolis is mixed with beeswax and used to seal cracks and reinforce the hive structure. Its natural color, combined with the beeswax, gives the hive a warm, golden hue. Additionally, exposure to sunlight can enhance this golden appearance over time.
