Some might try to tell you that bees will always return to the old spot
and die there -- unless moved a long way off -- but that is an old wives
tale. There is, naturally, some truth to it, but it fails the standard
test for truth in a true/false test.
Numerous writers have taken much time and effort and presented lots of
ideas here on BEE-L regarding this very topic, so I'll leave it to you
to check the archives (see the tag line). It's a lot less work than
moving the hives all over the country and back.
