@wallybeavis @Spacebar I have hives in both situations. At home, I can see them, but it's just because that's where I have room for them. I also manage several hives at a farm, those are away from the road.

We don't have wildlife big enough to mess with them here. Some people use ratchet straps, attaching hives to strong stands. Others will set up electric fencing as a deterrent.
