Hi, just want to share our first beehives. I have no experience in beekeeping but i hope for the best! Made 4 beehives during wintertime myself and got two swarms few weeks ago from a friend. So far so good. Today we expect some heavy storms so i think about securing the hives with some straps. What do you think?

    Thank you for the tip. Still doing some reserach about treatmet - it feels like some witchcraft potion making process but i will do my best.

    Why 3 feet apart? We are located in Czech Republic and all the beekeepers i visited never mentioned specific spacing for hives. They usually keep the hives next to each other with almost no spacing.

    Thx

      I believe it’s to avoid confusing the bees. It’s one of those things that I always hear.

        I see. Thank you. Guess I will keep watching them and if there is some weird behavior I will make some changes. But so far everything seems to be fine.
