I'd like to change my hive floors over from solid to open mesh, and thought about doing so this weekend (if the weather holds and the forecast of temperatures in the low to mid-teens comes true). Am I foolish in making the switch now? Is it too late or done gently should I be fine?
At the weekend I had bees flying though conditions were wet and blustery so the hives were quiet. I am in my first year and so not sure how to tell when the clustering is really starting and whether too. Inch movement now will be unduly disruptive.
Thanks for your thoughts.
