I am planning to unite two colonies but they are currently a short way apart from each other and their entrances face different ways (maybe 10 feet apart ATCF, or should that be ATBF but there is a tree/bush in between them so if i were to move them together it would take longer than 3 days at 3 feet a day each as I have to go round the tree..).
Do you have to mvoe colonies together to unite them? Someone told me they would be ok and re-orientate themselves but I am doubtful.
Also - can you unite through a super i.e. BB, Super, newspaper, BB ? or should i take the super off temporarily?
