Hi guys
What are your views on the number of bait hives in a given area?
For example I have access to a factory that is on about 3 acres of land and I figured that there are about 4 or 5 decent spots to locate bait hives.
The factory is fairly isolated i.e. not in a built up area but I have seen honey bees foraging around the yard and it is also close to a nature reserve - would it be worth putting 4 or 5 hives in 3 acres or is that overkill.
I put 1 bait hive there this morning as you can see in the picture.
