Hmmmm shade, sun? Which is best? Should they face north, south, east west?? Wind, no wind? Let me know whatcha think in the comments!!
Also.. I have started a new membership on the channel called the Hive Mind! I started this membership to give you a behind the scenes look at what it is truly like learning and growing with beekeeping as we expand our apiary. All proceeds go towards helping support our growth and buying more equipment. I am beyond thankful for how far we have come and it is all thanks to YOU for supporting my journey these last few years!

based on my observation bees go in every direction once they leave the hive

Great video Emily! I needed thuis to help me locate my hives. In Alabama we have lots of humidity and moisture.

Thanks Emily, i love watching your videos. I have been beekeeping for a long time, long enough to know you can never stop learning something. Thankyou

[@beefitbeekeeping]

we have a shrubery wall between our hives and our neighbors yard; all of our bees (all 4 of the hives) end up coming out about 10-15ft directly from the entrance climb vertically for about 10-15ft till they are above the hedge line and scatter in every direction from there. looks like a little airport with terrible pilots xD

Generally my bees fly straight out and then up. Once they are above the trees then they go in a direction.

mine go to the left... not directially but they fly 20-30cm forward, then they go to the left
