What do others think about the practice of sharing out apiaries with other beekeepers?
Obviously the dynamics change with each new beekeeper that has bees in residence in such an arrangement.
What are members personal views about the pros and cons of such an arrangement.
Am I a bit of a loner in that I wouldn't really want to share an apiary, or have other beeks visit my apiary unattended. Conversely I wouldn't seek to go any where near another beek's apiaries without an invitation and would normally expect the beekeeper to be in attendance.
Could be that I'm a bit of a cynic or slightly paranoid. LoL
