Fencing the Bees

Some customers who may have other livestock on properties – or in fields that aren’t fenced to keep the public out – may be asked to provide fencing around the hives.   Here are some samples that my clients have put around the bees to protect from cattle, horses, humans, goats, and sheep.

Whether the fence is around the entire field, or just around the hives – I can provide my own chain/lock to secure the fence gate.

Sectional cattle panels with gate This is probably the easiest fencing to put into place.

Wood Fence with gate: Good for places where posts in the ground are better – especially if in a publicly available spot.

Chain-Link Fence with gate: Good for places where posts in the ground are better – especially if in a publicly available spot.

And an example of what NOT to try to use to protect the beehives.   Construction trash-fence zip-tied to t-posts.  This does NOTHING to keep the horses and longhorn cattle out of the hives.

DO NOT DO THIS !!
