As title says could I keep them closed for 5 days with ventilation and a daily water spray?
 
Having some robbing/new queen introduction issues the bees don't seem to like her. Have someone picking up and taking my two big hives Thursday so was going to have a go trying new queen again in closed nuc and place where old hive was once it goes. Probably stupid idea but I love having a go at making things work
 
Also just realised I have posted this in the completely wrong place should be in beginners section
 
Normal procedure when setting up Apideas to keep them in for a few days (usually in the dark: Lots of people use their garage for this. They get quite noisy when I open the garage door.)prior to puting them on their sites
