My husband and I would like to move two hives within our apiary, one needs to move out of the location that it's in and a new dual hive stand is to be installed, and moved back, and a second hive moved from about 20 feet away. We are in IL, and the temps have been in the 75-85 range, so there is a fair amount of bees bearding.
What's the trick? Do you just move them and suffer any stings? Is there a way to get this done without being a pin cushin? Do you wait till morning and hope that the fielders are away?
