I'm setting up my first two hives at my Father's house, as he has a better location than I do. He has the idea to use an outdoor dog enclosure/kennel to set the hives in, then string the electric fence around it. It is good sized, 15' x 15' IIRC, open top, chain-link construction.
I imagine that this isn't necessary, however it would make my dad happy since he baked up the idea. It would keep the skunks out, I'd imagine. So my question is: Are there any negative issues with the idea?
