Moving Hive to new location
Posted: August 3rd, 2017, 11:14 am
Hi,
I wanted to move my hive about a mile, so I had a few questions. Does it matter what time of year that I move my hive? The date is currently 8/3/17, my locations is western New York. I would like to move before winter, so does the time of year matter at all? Since only a mile I was going to lock the bees in, then move hive to new location at night and keep locked up for for a few days, then when I opened the hive back up only open a small part of the entrance and put some branches in front to help them reorient themselves. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thank You!!
