To find a new spot to relocate our 300,000 honey bees.

I never thought I would learn so much about the behavior of honey bees

I learned that if you put a 8 to 10 feet high barrier like shrubs or trees around them they will fly up that high and stay at that height and you'll never notice them.
They should face south and get 3 to 4 hours of sun a day

I believe the one house I'm evaluating has a nice southern face in the back yard. Wonder how the college students in the area would enjoy a half dozen or so hives in my yard.

Assuming the Town doesn't ban them like they do livestock.

Honey bees aren't dangerous, and in fact they are quite helpful for pollination. Any apple orchards near you Ardvark? They usually want bees on the property.
