Jim, thanks for the link, interesting read! If you look close at the
methods though they ended up caging the bees in the new hive for a 3 day
period while it clearly shows the bees are very capable, to me it still
leaves open a huge question of how to teach them they need to relearn.
It may be a small issue for most, but it seems to me if there are simple
things we as pollinators of summer crops can do, then we should. I don't
notice the loss on hives that have been opn a truck from CA for 3 days, but
when we do that the weather is dramatically different than our summer
pollinations which range from melons as few as 5 miles apart, to
cranberries that are a day trip.(500 miles) My local cohort turns his
entrance alternating between north south, and east west for example.
