We're moving some TBH nucs that we captured as swarms a few weeks ago. We have four total. Three will be going into new Langstroth hives, the other will be simply moved to a full size TBH (same dimensions for the comb). The new location is about five miles away "as the crow flies".
Should we assemble the new hives at the current location and swap the TB nucs into them before moving or should we move them first then swap them into the new hives? It would be much easier to set up the new hives at their new locations then move/swap them into the new ones all at once, but is that too big of a change for them to handle well? Time isn't a big deal, I want to do it with as little disruption as I can. Just looking for opinions on weither one big disruption is better or if a few smaller ones is better.
Thanks!
