Hello to the group! First post, so be gentle with me😆
I am an interested newbie and considering placing two hives in my backyard and was hoping to get opinions.
I live in a subdivision. My town does not have restrictions with bees. My HOA does not have restrictions other than vague wording about not having anything considered a nuisance. My backyard is 30’x60’ with 6’ cedar fence so hives would not be visible. I have neighbors sharing the left side fence and a neighbor behind that shares the rear span. The right side fence borders a 25’ common area with a sidewalk that cuts through the middle of the block which sees very little foot traffic. So it is 25’ from that fence to the next neighbor. I don’t foresee any problems with the closest neighbors. I have a lawn guy that mows and weed eats once a week. We have two small dogs.
With what I’ve described, is it possible to keep a couple of hives? And what suggestion are there if possible.
Thanks so much!
