I am wondering the normal time to leave hives in an apple orchard. I put hives in an orchard May 13 and took them out tonight May 18. That just seems to short to me? I have been bringing bees to this orchard for a while and I never remember it is being only 5 days. They called yesterday and left me a message saying move the bees Friday we will be spraying Saturday.
