Hi Guys
Although I have a great deal of space to play with on my Father in Laws farm, I have thought I may like a hive in the garden to service the local area.
However, I have young children, the neighbours both sides also have young children and although bees in gardens is (used to be!) quite natural, I would need to be careful with how I do it for politics sake.
Although I live in a small village and is quite ruralified, my garden is not very large. I have seen hives in smaller gardens but they have been without children.
So.. I have been having a few madcap ideas with design and am interested if anyone else has done anything like it before. I have been thinking of having a hive at or near ground level, but having a remote entrance well out of the way maybe on the roof of the house (bungalow!)
does anyone have any oddball hives and\or has anyone else tried remote entrances?
If it went horribly pearshaped I could easily just move them up to the farm!
Cheers
Pete
