Transferring a Hive to Long Hive- a short distance- What to do?

I think it worked - by sunset just about every bee I saw was heading to the new location- I think if the issue was more branches- after the first day it would’ve been too late?

I spent half an hour with an umbrella jumping around ‘herding’ wayward bees to the new location- which was surprisingly effective…:sob::smirk:

The robbing also went well- honey is so thick- tested with a refractometer it is 14.9% water content. Taste is excellent- has a citrus tang
