Moved a hive approx half a mile from original site. Bees have been enclosed for 2 days and a couple of branches placed in front of the entrance to encourage reorientaion when they emerge. I plan to release them tomorrow after three days since a couple of dozen escapees have settled under the varroa mesh and seem to regard the new site as theor home. How long should I leave the branches before removing them all together?
