I am planning on moving some hives this weekend
(back of my pickup no camper shell).
The distance will be about 70 miles and the temps will be high 32 and low of 17.
The hives (two deeps and one honey super)
have migratory covers and no inner cover.
Questions:
Pros and cons of moving in the cold?
Will the cluster stay in tact during the move
or will they freak out?
Do the hives need to be wrapped?
If not advisable to move hives in
cold weather what is the minimum the
temp should be?
