Hey all again:
I have some of my hives that are still in good shape, but have some repairs needed and I'd like to take them apart, clean them, and repaint them. They have active strong colonies in them at this time.
What is the best way to do this ? I have some extra hives and supers and they are ready to go. Now, the important thing is; what is the best, most efficient and safe way to swap my girls to a new home, confiscate their present home, and do this ?
Also what time of year would be best for this ? Right now, here in S.W. Louisiana, we stay in a red alert heat stress warning with high heat indexes every day.
Thanks again everyone. I really depend on you guys/gals, it's so good to have a place to go to for bee advice and help.
Thanks and all the best,
