Thanks very much to everyone for the helpful (and swift) responses. I have chatted to the neighbours which the hive would be closest to and they are very happy to have bees around - they offered to help with the bees if they could.
I like the idea of ring fencing them how close should it be...
Hi All
I'm thinking of keeping bees and was wondering if my garden is big enough. I live in Southampton and my garden is about 80 ft long but ony 15 ft wide, I was going to put the hive about 25 ft from the end fence would I have enough 'clearance'
TIA
Mike
