Thanks for looking over my question.
I need to move two hives off of a stand for a short time to do some stand adjustments, and I was wondering if there would be any advantage to screening the entrances closed while I make the repairs? The goal would be to limit the bee frenzy (if any) by keeping the bees inside while I work, but I don't know if I'm missing something. I am aware the forgers will be returning, but it's for a short time, and it will still be ventilated.
I should add that I am currently using drywall sanding screens as my reducers, so it would only take a moment to fully close it off, so there would be no extra work.
Thanks,
