It looks from the diagram as though there might be a nice little space between the shed and the greenhouse. Put up a couple of poles to support 6' shading to close the gaps, and have them facing the g/h so you can watch them spiral in for landing, then they are visible but above head height.

I assume you have permission to keep bees on the plot, from whoever you rent it off. Have you got the other plot holders on side? I keep bees on my allotment, and they are doing well. It was an uphill struggle to get permission from council, and they are sited well away from neighbouring plots.
I suggest you have an alternative site in mind, in case you should run into problems on the allotment with your bees in future.
have fun.
