Hive entrance design - morning sun

This is my bee pond I set up for the girls. I don’t remember the name of the water lily but it is the world’s smallest. The Horsetail fern has over wintered for 5 years now. There are geodes in the water too for the bees to hold onto. The pond is 7 years old now and has developed its own eco-system with snails. I have no idea where they came from. Surprisingly mosquito larva does not develop in it. Maybe the snails eat the larva? During honey flow I had to fill it twice a day when I had 2 hives. This year I have 5 hives and they are draining it quicker. The flow in on!!!
