Yea, right. That's a new one on me - better put it safe in room 101 with the other tales
I don't appreciate being ridiculed.
While I don't have the knowledge or expertise of a Dave Cushman I do have some to share.
My dad was a beekeeper and a time study engineer so he enjoyed noticing and paying attention to small details. I am now 71, still a beekeeper, but not senile yet.
Just how large do you think a bee's brain is anyway?
Perhaps their brains are larger where you're at than here in the middle of the States.
I think the absolute minimum distance to move a hive would be two miles if you put an obstruction in front of the entrance as I stated before, preferably much more.
Because their brains are so small, when you place the obstruction and they reorient to the new location it overprints the previous memory. If you don't place the obstruction they'll be disoriented for a couple days but will settle down.
Because of their drastic long term memory deterioration one can easily move them away one weekend and back the next.
I realize I haven't contributed much to this forum since I joined, perhaps I need to a little less.
Good day
