I need to move two of my hives ASAP from a neighbors place to my farm. The problem is that we are only half mile apart. I do not
have access to a location farther away. I understand that I risk the field bees returning to the original spot. Any advice? Could I
put  an empty deep super with drawn combs there to collect the returning bees?How long should I leave it?  And than if I do get
some, whats the best way to reunite them? ***
