,
Shutting off the entrances the night before (with screen) and leaving them
shut for at least a day after the move should cause the bees to "reorient"
to the new location (or so what I have been told).
That is the normal procedure, and of course we know we lose any foragers
that have not returned, the premise of the research is that at the new
site, those foragers from the day before, fly out and never return, to far
from the old home, no remembering the new one..... its an interesting
concept. What I was/ am looking for is more actual data than guesswork.
Long time theory is that grass in the entrance will help that. Unfortunatly
the research I read was a bit short on followup.
I will read what Mr. Fischer sent as soon as I can.
Thanks
Charles
