Hi John
I can story to you what happened to somebody, from which we bought
the last hives.
they moved all hives, downhill,(a lot , over 100) was snow and cold.
I do not know the temperature (even approx).
Survived only few, very weak.
I suppose the explanation is simple.
Bees falled, and was unable to join back.
So, if is a must, maybe a solution is to move them in a warmed car and
than lat the car
freezing back slowly to give time to reorganize. Of course, you should
consider all detailes; temperature time for cooling, care not to lose
them out of hive etc
I wish you luck
regards
Costel
