Hi

We have 4 colonies on a field of borage that is in full bloom, and the
bees appear to be working it well.

Because of a mistake in the dark when we moved the bees they are placed
across a track that the farmer will need to use.

We have agreed to move them to the side of the track, but this is a move
of around 20 feet for the farthest hive.  I can move them about 3 feet
at a time, but how long do I have to wait between the 3 feet moves?

Any advice gratefully received
