Our local association has established a beeyard used by a number of our 
members on the property of one of our members.  The association has a 
written contract with him (he is a lawyer).  It is a very friendly 
relationship, but with a dozen beekeepers all using the yard and with 
classes being taught there, this seems appropriate.  Our bee yard has become 
popular enough that we have doubled its size this year.  It is an excellent 
location.

We were originally invited to have a beeyard on this property because the 
owner wanted to be green.  After hanging around with us, he began keeping 
his own bees - year two for him now.

I have never heard of a written agreement for any other beeyard.  I would 
rather not see this become the standard.  A handshake is a better system.
