Moving bees to a cold climate to kill varroa might not get you what you
want. We find that varroa reduces a hive's ability to overwinter.
Controlling varroa in the fall greatly decreased overwintering losses in
our cold climate (Logan, Utah).

If you don't have too many hives, you could try removing and destroying the
capped brood and then treating the bees, perhaps getting almost the same
effect you were hoping for.
