Friends here in France have three beehives that they ordered and had delivered, installed around their lake. They then realised that they were so easy to build that they made two more.


Where are you living?

ask someone else and you'll be more fortunte, in Italy there are beekeepers that go far away with their bees to collect pollen or honey, do not give up, that's a good idea you had and giving space to bees is a winning move for us all  
google beekeepers associations in other counties and let us know

Good luck.  I so miss having bees here.  I miss the best honey I'd ever eaten and so does my family at Christmas.

Have found an adopt a beehive thread, perhaps you will find something to help you:

http://www.adoptabeehive.co.uk/  perhaps contact them to talk about your idea...

Wonderful news, id love to do the same, but just to let them do their thing without having to approach the hive, i would have to hire someone. I have two different families in the garden, one of which lives just in front of my bay window in the kitchen,

the baby bees are sceptic when they arrive and when i have changed something about, the table or chairs or even deplacing a bucket will cause a little chaos, they fly back and forth until they remember where they live, sometimes arriving on my kitchen floor too and they search about and head for outside.
