> And the results were????  If it were simply a location issue, it seems that you could have equalize them quickly by swapping positions. When you moved a bee-heavy end colony to the center, did it immediately lose bees?

>>We did not swap hives, for the simple reason that the hives with the most bees got that way because the flying bees oriented on those particular locations. I assume that they would simply fly back. 

I had a bad drifting issue with about 20 packages and I tried swapping positions, made no difference in my instance.
