The roof doesn't project out from the house much because this is the South side of the house; we don't want to inhibit solar gain.
I removed the plastic container frames (in the foreground) from the hive. They were installed by the previous bee farmer in the hopes that there would be pre-segregated honey and comb to sell at farmer's markets. Apparently the bees didn't dig the idea.
The hive does get sun. I'm glad I didn't bother moving it northward!
Very pleased to see progress with house and bees.
