Love it.  
The question I raise would be if you are prone to snow would not the hives be better on stands(could be a long bench for multi hives) so that the bee entrances would have less chance of being blocked by snow.  
I know they don’t fly much in really cold places but have seen them flying out of snow covered hives when the sun shines.  
Living in a beautiful climate where Winters are cool and summers warm, I am only going on second hand, off the internet, information.  
The bee house I built has open front with 2 hives sitting there.
