I recently saw a picture on here of someone's apiary and they had their benches of hives at about a 45 degree angle. I realized that this was so that they all get sun at sunrise - not just the first skyscraper on the block!
I have one of my hives due West of another. Can I move the bench that these two hives are on - really just scootching one end of the bench - about 12 inches to the South to give that hive full morning sun too?
I don't want to set the progress of these bees back, they're doing fine. I just think this would help them.
Your thoughts?
