Polination
 

Hi,

After reading http://pollinator.com/ it seems that I could use some
bees. However, I have an adjacent neighbor living on a small plot
of land who has 2 kids. How far away should a small colony of
honey bees be kept from their property?

Thanks,
Ed

Hi Ed,
I think your local ordinances might dictate the hive placement. Here
are a couple
of web sites to look at:

http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/bees/5792.html

and the best article of all:

Hope this helps,
