So you want to start keeping bees? Where does a newbee or hobbyist
place their bee hives? The back yard is the most obvious choice,
but there are many factors, including municpal ordinances and
relations with the neighbors. Urban beekeeping is on the rise and
roof top apiaries are becoming popular. Still, there are several
factors that limit and define the most successful apiary site
selection. Grant Gillard, a beekeeper since 1981, keeps 200 hives
in southeast Missouri on over 30 locations, sometimes called "out
yards." In this manuscript, Grant details what makes for the ideal
location for the bees, plus cites a number of other criteria
helpful to the beekeeper. Just like in real estate, the admonition
of "location, location, location," rings true for the honey bee and
honey production.
