Hi All,
The OSR is just about finished with us and we are going to move our hives to field beans one evening, but we have 2 or 3 waiting for queens to be mated after swarm control procedures.
Will the move be detrimental to the queens if they are not yet mated but may have orientated to their current site? Will they re-orientate like the rest of the colony?
Your observations would be appreciated. Mike
