I have three hives at our house. We are on an acre and are adjacent to hundreds of acres of hay fields. We placed the bee yard where it would get light afternoon shade, but need to move them.
Right now they are too close to the house. I would like to move them about 100 yards further out on our yard since it is hard not to walk in front of them with their current placement.
I have read that it is difficult to move them if it isn't at least 5 miles.
Can I wait til night time and then just pick up the whole hive and move them? will the bees reorient?
