From:
Location receives direct sun from sun rise to about 10:30 am on the front and again from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm on the back. It is located between two oak trees that block the sun during the afternoons.
Location is relatively sheltered from the wind.
Location is about 1/4 mile walk though a horse pasture.
To:
My backyard, 1/4 mile away from current location
Location would receive sun light all day long.
Location would be exposed to windy exposures
It would be in my backyard!
Now I admit, I am contemplating the move because the new hives are not building very well, so if the lack afternoon sun has absolutely no bearing on this, I will leave them.
I guess it comes down to Sun vs. Wind vs. would it even help.
