- 3 colonies, 2 nucs
In order to place my lone beehive on an allotment I had to gain permission from the local parish council. The permision is for one hive only.
I read on these forums (or is it fora) that 'two colonies' is recommended, for the bee management and welfare purposes.
I would like to approach the council to get permission to establish a second hive. Can anyone help me to make the arguement, why are two hives so much better than one from a bee welfare and management point of view.
