Be in a location with an abundant supply of honey flowers and pollen plants.
	Be in a location that geographically stretches out to the south.
	Have shade trees that can keep the summer heat at bay.
	Be geographically located in a place that is protected from the northern winter winds.
	Be preferably in a location with roads.
	Be at a place where one does not have to worry about floods.
	Be at an arid zone. Honeybees can get sick in damp, humid places.

This is the most ideal situation. Of course, you do not have to meet all of the above-mentioned conditions to keep honeybees. Some problems, like not having enough shade, or northern winds, can be solved by taking adequate measures, and humidity can be prevented by putting up concrete blocks. Bee plants, though, are absolutely indispensable.
