Bee's are a real hot item these days. My SIL and daughter both
have started hives in the last year, for their own use.
Thieves are targeting hives . There were quite
a few hives left up here (MT) for the winter presumably for health
reasons. I haven't heard the results.
The local lumber yards have all sorts of treated lumber available,
the local post yard has a treating plant too. CCA at a rate (5%?)
for for direct contact would be my choice. ED

I guess you haven't been paying attention the last few years. CCA no
longer exists, replaced by ACQ which eats fasteners for breakfast.

Actually I use quite a lot of CCA treated products on a semi regular
basis. $30K's+ last year . 1.5 miles of split 3 rail fence all CCA
treated. Will do close to that again this year..
CCA treated lumber is to be sold for industrial, commercial and
agricultural use only. Only if final use is non-residential ie not for
decks, porches ect.
Be aware some cows died after eating grass that grew where some
CCA treated posts ends had been burned.. it was the arsenic in the
treat that killed em. Do not burn CCA treated lumber..
I have yet use the
ACQ which I read specs ceramic coated fastners or some such.

Ceramic, stainless, triple galvanized, etc. Simpson has good info on
dealing with the ACQ stuff on their site.

The best that we have used is "Woodlife" for brush blocks used as shoe cleaners
on golf courses and other wet applications. They last for years!
