We intend to eventually have 3 colonies in our bee garden plot. We want them in the enclosure area where the present hive is. Some pictures of the area are below. Hopefully you will be able to tell the size from the pictures I've posted. I have seen hives close together in pictures before, and I understand that if you have the entrances all face slightly different ways, that stops drifting, but how would we establish a new colony here. It was suggested that we put the new colony on another members plot, but then with the under 3ft - over 3 miles rule, we would struggle to move them back to the garden. Any ideas?
