1. Fences or Hedges Make Good Neighbors

  • "Out of sight, out of mind"—Create a barrier around hives that makes it difficult to spot by neighbors and passersby.
  • Alter flight patterns—Bees tend to fly several feet off the ground, in the same area that people occupy. A fence or hedge near the front of the hive forces the bees to fly above head level.
