If you are new to beekeeping and wondering where to place your hives, current thinking is that you want as much sunlight on them as you can get. If you are in a city that has a bee ordinance, pay attention to your setback requirements and your shadows.

For me, February 19th represents the first day the sun rises on the north side of my next door neighbor's house. This means the start of my bees getting the earliest possible sunlight, given their position on my driveway pad.

Seems like a good excuse for a holiday to me.
