Would be disastrous especially on the science behind foraging and allocating the direction of quality forage as their communication is based on direction on the sun and their dances. Single inlet multiple hives will see most bees dead as they will clash as bees are hive specific and any confusion into strange hive mean death. You can however fence of your appiary site if the issue is Intruders.
