I noted an interesting thing this weekend......
 
I split a hive three weeks ago, old queen went into the new split and a
queen cell was left below.  I used a double screen division board and faced
the new entrance to the side.  I left the split on for about a week...
noting some good activity.
 
I then moved the split to another apiary over 2 miles away and left it
there for two weeks.  Today I moved it back to another spot in the original
apiary.
 
Right away I noted lots of bees buzzing around the side of the original
site.  What a memory these bees have.
 
I thought that 2 weeks would erase their little computer minds.  :) Not so!!
 
Anyone else have a comment on bee memory to locations?
