     Sutremaine: "I think associating the hive's productivity with the number of floor, dirt, or grass tiles around it would
     be enough."

Maybe check if a hive has at least one unobstructed side?

IRL:
Productivity is still good for hives built:
+in a corner
+against a wall
+in a wall
+as a wall
+back-to-back
+side-by-side

As long as the fly-ways in front of their entrances are clear.

If plants grow up in front of your hives it can lower productivity, but there's also a good chance that anyone trying to clear those plants away will get stung (the smell of ripped up plants seems to anger guards).

It's possible to boost productivity by adding landing ramps to hives (so the bees can get inside faster).
