Greetings all,
Today, the owner of the property of one of my yards asked today if it
would be possible to close up three hives for a few hours one morning to
move some concrete pipes by the hives. I told him that I thought I could,
but I wasn't sure how long. Here in St. Louis, we have had daytime temps of
95, and night time temps of mid 70's. The hives are in early morning shade.
I intend to screen the entrance, and add an empty super that has a screen
top on it, so they can spread out and fan better. How long can they stay
like this. He seems to think he would start at daybreak (6:00 am) and would
be done by 9:00 am. Would this be a problem? Thanks!
Scott Moser
