The bees themselves don’t require much space but we need about 3 meters clear around the hive in order to work efficiently. Bees prefer a sunny spot with partial shade if you have it, ideally near a fence, wall or screen, which protects the hive from wind and encourages them to fly up high when leaving the hive. Rooftops can be especially good places to site them.
Bees are wild. If threatened, or in defense, they would sting, however, because they immediately die after stinging a human, it is a last resort for them to do so. Bees aren’t especially inquisitive – they are extremely hard working and get on with pollinating and producing honey!
Bees swarm for a number of reasons; the most common being capacity issues: life gets a bit crowded and so some of them fly off to find a bigger place to live! Contrary to popular belief, swarms are not angry and dangerous – bees are actually at their most calm and docile when in the swarming state
Honey farming is like any other crop farming and subsequently a number of factors can affect it: the weather, the queen bee, the health of the colony and the availability of food for the bees for forage on. We provide them with the best conditions we can for producing honey. however, it is impossible to give an accurate figure. Typically, in the first year there is a possibility of less honey than in the second and subsequent years as the bees establish the hive.
