Can I move my hives?

[blodwen]

I want to turn my hives round 90 / 180 degrees (and move one about 500 yards. Can I simply do this on a cold day when there is no sign of activity at this time of year?
Also, what is the closest 2 hives can sit together if their entrances are facing the same way to avoid bee-location confusion?
Thanks in advance!

if not at least 6-7 days of flying(bad weather) can move smoothly.....
in that period is not a problem if too close, but during harvest or in the absence of distance to be at least 50 cm.
