Is a beehive on a floating raft a bad idea? Hear me out:
- Full Sun is easily achieved.
- Disrupts lifecycle of hive beetles.
- Source of water available and close.
- A moat for predators and excluding neighbors and kids.
- The hive raft could be pulled by a rope to shore or to the middle with a pulley system. Or to an edge for wind protection etc by season.
I know it’s not a slam dunk. Risk of sinking being catastrophic but what else?
Can the people with actual bee experience tell me why this is a dumb idea?
Thanks!
