I am trying to decide where to put my hives. We live in the country so neighbours aren't an issue. I live in SW Arkansas and the sun can be ferocious in July and August so I thought perhaps to put in an area that gets shade in late afternoon. Do mowers bother bees? How do you mow around your hives? I thought if the mowers were a problem, I could put the hives on the west side of our cow pasture, facing east and put a small fence around the hives so cows can't rub up against them. There is a treeline along the west side that would provide late afternoon shade.
If mowers are not a problem, I can put them fairly near the house and my garden perhaps. I know not to put them in dips or areas that collect water.
