> You're right Aaron, Cam's post could be interpreted differently.
Cam, did you observe that swapping positions resulted in the bees returning to the original hive positions, or did they stay with the putatively more odor-attractive hives?

Should have been more explicit. The bees stayed with the odor-attractive hives. Even when I shook excess bees into the almost empty hives. Shortly later they moved to the heavy hives. I lost 2 of the hives because there were only a handful of bees left. Lesson learned. This was in the afternoon. I now put the bees in around dusk or on rainy or snowy days. That was the only time I ever had that problem.
