I now have a second top-bar hive. I have read various opinions regarding location; specifically regarding how close to have both hives. I would like to place them six to eight feet apart. Is that too close?

Thanks,

Bill

That should be fine provided the entrances are orientated differently

I have my langs 6" apart. Is there any reason that TBHs need to be space further than langs?

They are only too close if you can't get to them to work on them...

Thank you for your response. One hive has side entrance and the other end entrance. I think they will be fine.
