Description: The site for your hive should be carefully choosen and planned long before you have bees to be installed. Once a hive is established, moving it to a better location can be difficult. Although beekeepers in the pollination business regularly transport their colonies over long distances, it is not an easy task. In considering the location of a hobby hive or two, one must be aware of climatic conditions such as wind, shade, and the time the sun hits the hive each morning. Additionally, the location of a hive must take into consideration people, pests, and pets. One should first consider if a backyard hive is appropriate. Both city and county ordinances may specify special requirements for those who wish to keep backyard hives. Neighborhoods increasingly have "restrictive covenents" which may not allow you to park a boat in your driveway or keep bees in your back yard. Check where applicable and follow any requirements.
