Our hives will be located on the same lot as our home. We are only getting two hives to start, and will <br /> not exceed six hives on our home lot. Each hive will not exceed twenty cubic feet in volume. The hives <br /> will not be located closer than three feet from any property line or within an easement, and will not be <br /> closer than ten feet from a neighboring, inhabited structure. <br /> There are two wells available to provide a constant supply of water to the hives, and there will be <br /> multiple water supplies available for each hive. <br /> The hives will not be within twenty-five feet of any property line, so a flyaway barrier will not be <br /> necessary. Our property is also filled with and surrounded by coniferous vegetation. <br /> The moveable hives will have more than adequate space available, and will be managed to prevent <br /> overcrowding and swarming. <br /> The colonies will be re-queened if they show any unusually aggressive characteristics. The colonies we <br /> are getting are bred for a favorable temperament, low mite load and hygienic characteristics. Each <br /> queen has laid the brood that we are receiving, and all the worker bees and drones are her offspring. All <br /> the hives undergo a rigorous selection process to ensure the best quality queens. The hives are non- <br /> migratory, and have genetics to withstand long, cold winters. The bees are coming from a Minnesota <br /> breeder. <br />
