Moving 2 hives in the next month ?

How much of a rsik is it for me to move 2 hives 20m or so over the next month?

There's some garden renovations by a professional gardener to be done and circumstances occurred last year that ended up with 2 of my now 3 hives some 20m from what I regard as my apiary area.

I did this once before in the summer many years ago over a shorter distance by turning the hive entrance through three steps of 30 degrees such that the entrance was away from the direction of travel, and then moving the hive a couple of metres every 2nd day.

That worked fine but would it be regarded as safe for me to do the same at this time of year?

Seal the entrance one night, strap the hive up, move them, let them out a few days later. Best done when there's a cold spell but fine any time.

No risk, in this kind of weather/time of year - unless you're expecting a couple of really fine days I'd just move them in one go and be done with, in fact, I'd probably do it whatever the weather.
To be honest, the only time I'd say there was a risk is if it was during an exceptionally cold period of really arctic frosts, then there would be a danger of them breaking a tight cluster and chilling.
