Ok. I thought this would be simple! Just move my hive about 75 yards. Then someone said “no! 3 feet or three miles!” What? Then youtube. Then like so many bee issues with so many opinions…confusion. Some say that is bunk. Some move them and put branches in front of the hive so they will reorient. Some move them and leave them in the hive for 3 days then open it. Good grief. All I need to do is move my hive!! What say yee???

I’m having feelings of deja vu again. I feel like I answered this question earlier today.
