Default Bee-keeping; potential nuisance to neighbours?

Hi Does anyone know anything about beekeeping? I have a long garden and a
local beekeeper is hoping I'll allow him to keep bees on the land. (I could
use a bit of extra income). However, I am just wondering if his ten hives
would create a nuisance for my neighbours. There is one neighbour whose
garden is a mere 12 metres from where the hives will be located.

Many thanks,

Al



Are you going to do a course so you know what to do with them in an
emergency?

There are some rules I read about having hedging around them at a
certain distance and height to ensure they don't fly into people
coming near the hives.

10 sounds excessive ... but how much room have you got?
