In North Alabama, I have gives in total sun and in the same field, I have hives in shade after 1 PM. Last year, 2011 season, hives in the sun made very little honey while I had 2-3 supers on the partial shaded hives. Bees have difficulty keeping hives cool in total sun. A stream was running less than 300 feet of the hives.
