The Ideal Bee Yard
Whether you are planning for your first time beehive or you already have beehives in your backyard, here are some points that we have found helpful for our beehives:
  • Open flowing water near by.
  • Mottled shade in the summer.
  • Southern exposure for winter sun.
  • Wind break from winter winds.
  • At least 10 to 15 feet from heavy vibration i.e. Lawnmowers, road etc.
  • Not in the bottom of a gully.
  • At least 2 watered cat mint plants per hive.
  • Weed free area in front of the hive.
  • Hive opening faces south.
  • Near road for auto access.
  • Contact us if you have any other great sources of information related to honey bees.
