Looking for a bit of advice guys ...
Wanting to expand next year but space in garden limited because of chickens, backyard rabbit farm and all available area into veg beds.
I have a large workshop block shed at bottom of garden with steel roof at maybe 12 degree pitch. Tree line behind.
Any problems with siting 3 hives on top of the roof if strapped to the roof? I've had 2 large men on top of the roof working so will take the extra weight ok.
Thought it would keep flight line up away from neighbours gardens
Obviously not ideal to remove multiple supers down ladder but as only a couple of times a year can be done with a little help
Comments, suggestions?
