Quick question-How far do wet supers have to be placed (I know there is no
set distance) to help discourage robbing.  The 3 hive in the yard are strong
and I do have some flexibility with distance.

What I would like to do is put them in the shed I use for equipment.  The
shed is open under the roof and the door is opposite the hives.  The
distance is 40 to 50 feet.  Another alternative is about 100 yards-a
clearing in the woods where I live or several acres away in an open meadow
on the property?

Help-I extracted today and the wet supers are still in the utility room and
I need to get them out in the morning and clean.

Boy do I hate sticky!!!!!

Thanks,
Coleene
