Just getting ready for my weaners this year and realised that next year they will be close to the bees.
Is that a problem?

Only if they can knock over the hives......

No Zach, the pigs will be fenced. I know that bees and horses don't mix, never had a problem with the sheep or goats. Just being on the safe side really

Our pigs are in a secure paddock just 6m or so from our hive and we've never had a problem. As long as the hive entrance is pointing away from the pigs, it should be fine.
