"We've also found that even when near corn fields, where you set the hives makes a difference....  Put the hives beside the fence next to the field being planted, you'll see a higher exposure.  Set them a bit away, with some shrubs, etc. between them and the field, problem is reduced or is eliminated."
Greg Hunt talked to the Missouri State Beekeepers in springof 2012, which I believe was right before his Purdue study was published. He told us he had put his fourresearch hives “right at the edge” of the cornfield. In the worst-affectedhive, there were several hundred dead bees out front. It rained the next dayand the colonies appeared to recover.
