This isn't a good time to disturb the bees unless you have a really warm
climate and the bees are active. Wait until spring, otherwise you'll disrupt
the cluster, probably kill some bees, and they will be unable to redistribute
the stores to take account of the changed conditions. You'll find the hives
much drier once they're on.
