Wallace asks about moving bees a short distance.
Wallace, the reason for all the advice concerning moving bees is that field
bees will fly back to their old site and be lost to the hive. In the
spring or early summer that can be disastrous. Now is a different story.
If your bees have plenty of food for your short winter, just go ahead and
move them. You will lose the field bees, but so what ? Your hives will
not miss them and may even winter better without them.
