The perfect location

My next topic is on where to place your hives.  The first thing is you have to find where east is.  East is where the sun comes up on.  If you face the entrance of your hives to the east, your hives will get a earlier start foraging.
Next is finding a spot that has some filtered sun.  This means that you don't want to place your hive in full direct sun light.  If you do it, it will cause the hive to over heat then your hive will swarm.
The last thing you need to do when finding a location is to have it near a source of water.  Yes bees need water.  Some people place their hives near a creek and some take some sort of water bucket near the hive if there is no water access.
