Location
Hive Placement
Choose a location with low foot traffic
Hive front clearance - Bees need six to eight feet for take off and landing
Clearance on either side, and at the rear of the hive is essential for beekeeping tasks
High walls near the hive force the bees to fly higher so they are less likely to encounter humans and cars.
Tip
This hive is located behind a garage.
