My guess is they were in bad shape when they left.
>What happens if the hives encounter bad weather en route?
Bees going the southern route this time of year do better. Bees going the
northern route do ok if the bees stay in the hives. Those that move out
under the nets many times die from the wind chill and not being able to get
to honey.
