There’s lots of places you can keep bees that aren’t the typical backyard. Today Kim and Jim take a look at a couple of these places.
The first is in an unused single car garage. The hive boxes sit on a bench inside the garage for easy access and he doesn’t need a cover, just a board over the top. These bees can be worked any time of day or in any weather and he uses a lot less smoke when working them.
Another placed discussed is up on the roof. There are some special concerns here you need to be aware of.
Listen today as Kim and Jim discuss Atypical Bee Yards.
