I keep a couple of hives in the fairly large back yard of a friend of mine.
His son is getting married this summer and they will have the reception in
the back yard. He is concerned about having bees around such a large group
of people and would like me to move the hives, if only for a short period.

Is this the best option? Should I plan to move the hives for a few days or
is there a way to simply and safely enclose the hive on the day of the
reception to keep the bees in. As for move options, I could (possibly) move
the hive into a neighboring yard for the short run, or I could move them a
considerable distance away. The wedding is in mid-summer, but I don't know
if there is likely to be a flow at that time or not here in Vermont.

Thanks,
Mark Payton
