I have moved hives many times at night with entrances open . No problems , but dont stop at floodlit locations like gas stations.

I had to move bees because the place I had them the people died. It was a real pain I am 66 a woman and they were 3 boxes high it was hard. I took the boxes apart put the boxes on my truck 1 box at a time I took 1 hive at a time to the new location I put a empty box where the hive was for any bees coming home came back that night and took that box back to there new place. The way I did it worked great but it did take a lot of time I used screen on top to remove heat. straped them together Ialways have my hives strap to cender blocks all the time. enjoyed your video have a blessed week

Moving honey bees can certainly be cumbersome. Thank you for sharing!

Great information- can you speak to relocation “rules” in terms of distance- over 2 miles/under 2 miles…
