When would be the best time to move my hives to a new location please.
They’re currently in a filed close by and I want to relocate them to the garden. 1/4 mile max.
 
Wait till winter when the bees aren't flying
I relocate my bait hive every year from the garden on the potting shed roof to my field

When the weather forecast says it will be cold for a couple of weeks. Move them and face them in a different direction to start with. You may still get a few return to old site but if it needs doing.....

If no time pressure, as above (or when there are a few really rainy days as that should come before it's cold), alternatively block up the entrance for a couple of days and do it whenever.
