    Putting in drainage at apiary.

    How wet is the ground? Given you're putting drainage in... it might be very soft. If he's not an experience digger then I'd get the hives moved out of the way and put back when it's done. Do it whilst it's cold and the bees will hardly notice.

    They have temptingly offered biscuits as an incentive, but it's nearly 2 hours drive... They'd have to be blinking good biscuits.

    Use of apivar

    This is my concern - if it's very late in the year to be going taking it out, then chances are there will be beekeepers who'll leave it in as the easiest option. And that'll be there the problems will presumably start.
