> I was only curious at seeing so many

We had a fairly in depth discussion on this last year, if I recall.  At that
time quite a number of factors were discussed.  I took a very quick look in
the archives and came up empty, but this is a perennial subject, and there
are many factors to consider.  Anyone who is really interested might want to
try various searches in the archives.  I was only mildly interested and just
made a cursory search, trying, "hives yard" and "colonies yard", but I am
sure there must be better keys.  Maybe someone else can suggest a better
search?
