Greetings All, I have a newbee question regarding locating my hives in my backyard. I have a 1/2 acre backyard and plan to setup 2 hives on the back property line. what would be the best way to position these hives in regards to each other (i.e., side by side a few feet apart, landing boards away from each other, etc). Also when I have to mow the grass, will a riding lawn mower bother the bees or should I use a weedeater to cut the grass around the hives for like five feet or more from the hive? Please post a response to the BEE-L or you can email me directly at [log in to unmask] Thanks in advance! Chris Blanchard Wilmington, NC
