Yes you would need to keep the eggs as closed to 90 degrees as possible with a warm damp towel over the frame to keep the eggs from drying out.
Now that's the idea of the day!Put the frame of brood in a cooler with a burrito from Taco Bell.
Keeps the brood nice and warm and after you place the brood in the new hive you get lunch.
You can thank me later.
That would be more than a "little dangerous" if your dog touched it. Or if a child touched it. Or if you or your wife touched it. We've had this discussion before when someone proudly posted photos of a deer killed by his electric fence. We also discussed the man that faced homicide charges when his fence, wired directly into a house circuit, killed a neighbors child.I like the electric fence idea but if I do that I will make it so powerful that it will kill the bear and anything else that touches it. That would be a little dangerous.
Where I live there are not likely to be any kids. My wife stays as far away as possible and if I was to do something like that I would make it high enough that my dog would be under it. My hives are on a stand about 4 feet high (a pretty nice work height) and the dogs can walk under them. Another option might be to just electrify the top covers. I also said I don't plan to do it.That would be more than a "little dangerous" if your dog touched it. Or if a child touched it. Or if you or your wife touched it.

I've accidentally touched the electric fence surrounding my garden/bee yard and it was more than enough to get my attention.
