In "apiary A" we have 3 hives. Two are fine, but one has succumbed to laying workers. As its fairly late in our season for getting a Q mated, we don't fancy our chances with adding brood to the problem hive, so were planning to shake the bees out but there's very little space in the other hives. We have access to two more apiaries, "apiary B" is quite close (~2 miles) with room for extra bees in 2 hives and "apiary C" is further afield (~13 miles) but more difficult to work with and less spare room in hives.
What do you think is our best option?
Thanks
