Bee hives in a garden

Hive/colony placement

Bees hives do not need a shelter but it can help with issues of moisture. Things to consider is: 

  • Hives should face east to receive morning sun

  • hives should be raised off the ground to help keep them dry

  • make sure you have room behind the hive to work
