try to talk sensibly
if both parties understand the needs of the other it is easier to find a happy ending that is good for all

teach the bees to go postal is another option

giving way to someoen who is being angry, aggressive and unreasonable is usually a good way to end up with them making successively more unreasonable demands.


I know, but in this case the demand isn't unreasonable, if anything it is inconsiderate not to move the considering the reasons.

The original poster has as much right to keep bees on their land as he to keep horses on his.
Facing a hive entrance in the opposite direction & screening the boundary so any bees flying that way will be high above any danger is perfectly adequate to minimise the risk of anyone, or any ones horse being stung to an acceptable level.
I would be very careful not to let them swarm so plenty of space, early splits, a queen that doesn't produce over swarmy bees (keep away from Italian genes) & obviously good tempered bees would be essential IMHO,
If a swarm pitches in his yard or sets up home in his barn he wont be pleased even though in the swarming state they are at their most harmless, unless a fool swipes them with a stick.
Unfortunately with bees it's impossible to keep them in one place, so if anyone gets stung in his stable by anything wild, feral or an entirely different species you & your bees will get blamed.

Education is the best policy but from the original posters description his neighbour doesn't seem to see it from any perspective other than hid own so I wish them luck..
