Just got back from moving some bees, they were the remnants from hives we had on an oil seed rape site. Mainly nuc hives we hadn't got round to moving.
This is the latest we've moved bees but I was concerned because they were very exposed to north winds and at over 650' ,generally not thought to be good wintering conditions.
They are now at 400' south west facing and will I'm sure winter much better.
Moving bees is said to stimulate brood rearing which could use up winter stores, so to be safe we'll feed them next week to keep them topped up.
