What is the best location for my hive?

There is not one perfect location for a beehive. You will take a few factors into consideration. Bees need approximately 6 feet of clearance in front of their hive to gain 6 feet of elevation as they exit the hive on foraging flights. So you should consider walkways, patios, playsets, etc. The front entrance should get direct sunlight by 10am. The hive should also be in a convenient location for you to inspect it.
