All this talk of requeening has got me thinking I should requeen my two
hives that are both two years old, however, I am recluctant to do it now
because of the conditions here.  I live along the Wasatch front in Utah,
and due to a late spring my bees are just now really getting going, so I
don't want to disrupt my chance of getting a decent harvest this year.
My question is, can you requeen in the spring?  My books all say to do
it in the fall, but they don't really get into the reasons that this is
the preferred time.
 
Thanks for your time
