I can't have bees where I live, so as a hobbyist who wants to expand - I am
always on the lookout for spots that could serve as my bee-yard. Even with
all the so-called "development" in the area there are lots of potential
sites around me.
I am wondering - has anyone come up with a good (non-threatening)
approach to asking the landowner about locating a few hives on his/her land?
I have been asking - only to find problems with access or (mutual) concern
about the family kids or dogs.
Do you offer them rent in the form of honey or money?
How concerned should I be about horses or llamas being stung or knocking-
over a hive?
What kind of problems could a 'landlord' cause me & my bees?
What can I do to be a good 'tenant'?
Thanks for listening!
