The honeybee in your hive can cover a huge area during foraging. A study from 1997 showed that the mean foraging distance was 1 km from the hive, but your bees will fly up to 4-5 km (2-3 miles) while foraging.
This is a simple tool to measure the foraging area of your hive and what is within it. First select your country to move the map view to the right place on the earth. Then you can zoom in to the right area where your hive is situated.
