How To Select A Site For Beehives

Siting the apiary is very important to a bee keeper to minimize the conflict between these animals and the famer/public/other animals. Below is an outline of the important considerations when siting an apiary:

👉The apiary should be away from noisy places like near a working machine. Noise excites bees and motivates them to sting.
👉Site the apiary at the place far from homestead and the animal yards/grazing areas.
👉Site the bee hives closer to watering and foraging points. This will minimize the distance travelled to look for feed and water and the same is converted to productivity
👉Avoid situating hives closer to the busy roads/paths. Bees are easily disturbed my strong wind and air current. Avoid siting the hives directly facing the wind direction.
👉Site the hives at a point that makes supervision easy for the farmer/manager.
👉Make provisions to minimize the chances of predation to the bees. Most bee farmers are using the wire mesh to enclose the area so as to keep away birds and animals that prey on bees. You can as well use scare crows to keep in check the predators
