I will be getting my first package of bees ever on Thursday.  We are still having logging done and the area where my bees will go has lots of brush and stumps.  The loggers recommend that we burn the brush and stumps soon (conflicting with the installation of the bees).  We can position the bees away from the burn site and possibly provide a plastic wall on three sides (four including overhead)  to keep a lot of the smoke away.  

What will the bees think of all the smoke?  Does our plan sound feasible? Any recommendations?
