Hi
Newbie here.
I am planning on a hive placement now. I understand nothing is perfect. I read about the ideal locations you should look for. I have a rural area with neighbors houses 300' away. It's on top of the hill so I always get wind.
Going to be on a square acre lot. House and barn in front close to road (higher in front and slopes downward towards back). Middle of lot is a small garden area, and have a lower garden entire back of lot. Thinking about placing either lower right or lower left) corners next to garden area and woods. This area get full sun from 8 am to 4 during summer.
Another location would be a undeveloped lot to right of barn (upper right). I eventually want to make it into a woodlot for storing firewood, but wouldn't need all the space. It would get longer sun here, but is higher in elevation (would get more wind).
What is the usual space needed for a comfort zone around the hive?
Thoughts on going forward.
Thanks for all replies in advance.
David
