best way to move this hive?

Thanks RAB.

I agree with what you are saying. When the hives are close together It is better to do things slowly & cautiously. I always slow the process down when I get them close to their destination.

At the moment I have two hives close to their new stand & I'm turning them 180 degrees so it's slow & steady. At this time of the year down here I'm not too worried about a few bees going to the wrong hive.

I can see why it would be an issue with your hives coming out of winter.

With this method once you get a hive out in the open on it's own you can really bowl it along because they can't get it mixed up with anything else.

Happy moving.

the nearest OSR to me is about 30 miles away and as this is my first winter and i only have three hives and no extractor yet its hardly worth me moving one hive to OSR,is it?
