I picked up 4-hives yesterday west of Ft. Worth. I moved them 150 miles southeast to Palestine. I am going to locate them in the bee yard this morning. The high here today is going to be 75-degrees. I am going to checker board, and add a full drawn super to my other hives this morning. Should I go ahead and do the same with the moved hives, or just leave them alone while they settle to there new home?

We work our hives after a 750 mile trip with just an ovenight to get settled. Especially if you have a warm day and forage they won't mind a bit.
