Brother Michael, if your Hive is in the city, usually that means watered flower beds and lots of flowers of all kinds... If your hive is rural as mine then weather plays a big part.
Having a single hive is fun as all your attention is focused. My experience with a single hive is the bees got to know me and became very tolerant, even friendly I would say: a beautiful experience with nature.
Even with multiple hives, 19, in my back yard, I interpret the bees know me, accept my presence. They even greet me if I am feeding, specifically, I see a bee approach towards my feet and fly upwards scenting my whole body checking for scent of syrup. If I have syrup, I will be followed. Then after the bees obtain a belly full of syrup, I make a good landing perch as the bees groom themselves attached to my hand, arm, sleeve, where ever. Me as the landing perch is OK as long as I see the bee, up my sleeve is not so much fun.
Blessings
