I need to move 3 hives from a place that has become horribly soggy and damp, causing mould build up in the roofs along with an interesting array of slugs, spiders and wood lice. Could anyone give me some advice on (when I move them) how far they should be from any other apiary. I have spoken to someone but there is an apiary nearby and I don't want to be either a disease spreader or gatherer. I only need to move them over winter to somewhere that is more than 3 miles away then come spring I can bring them closer to my home (which is only 1/2 mile from the current location) and have permission from the farmer to keep them there. Hoping this makes sense! And in advance thank you for advice.
