Hi Ron The amount of food available is much more important than the "view" of the hive. With your hives getting morning sun this would seem like a good location, as long as there are lots of flowers, and your farmer neighbor sprays his chemicals carefully. I have several locations which are open 360 degrees, but with this horrible drought I may not be able to brag about not feeding my bees anymore :-( Tim Vaughan [log in to unmask]
