Apiary plan, to scale

The location of the hives, their orientation, the water and the distances to respect.

The plan opens on "Lot", a 20.00 m (65' 7") by 15.00 m (49' 3") rectangle (300.00 m² (3,229 sq ft)) that you correct to your own measurements. Already in place: hedge section, 4 × beehive, bee waterer, flowering shrub, shed.

What this plan is, and what it is not

In Quebec, every hive owner must register with the MAPAQ, and a hive must be at least 15 m from a public road or a dwelling, unless it is behind a solid fence 2.5 m high. Check the law in force and the municipal by-law.
