I have to move 4 hives about half a mile prior to the end of December. I've heard that in the winter one can move hives this distance if you temporarily obstruct the entrances with sticks and leaves once they've arrived at the new location. Has anyone had experience doing this?
The hives are very heavy with winter stores so it would save a lot of time and energy if it wasn't necessary to move them more than three miles first, then move them back to their new home.
