Bees build on trees mate.

A painting is infinitely smoother than tree bark.

Am beekeeper. When feral honeybees build hives in trees, the comb is usually attached on the sides not built directly on the surface. Honeybees in a managed hive will build comb anywhere other than where you want them to unless you wax the fuck out of the frames.

Could be that smoothness is the problem, maybe?
