Beekeeping Tips: Preparing for Moving Bees

Beekeeping Tips: Preparing for Moving Bees

by Bryan Owens / Sunday, 26 September 2021 / Published in Beekeeping

Beekeepers have to move their bees sometimes to take advantage of an additional honey flow. Unfortunately sometimes they have to move bees because of Bears which could be prevented with the use of an electric or solar bear fence.This solar bear fence is a very good option.

Moving bees can be a challenge and there’s a bit of preparation that has to take place before you start to move colonies from one place to another. Make no mistake moving bees is very hot work and hydration for the beekeeper is the first thing to consider. You may also want one of these nifty neck cooling systems.

Bees navigate by the sun and return to the hive at the end of the day. That is when a beekeeper can install a moving screen. 

The use of a flashlight may be required, but a very small light, like this one,  is better since bees are attracted to light.

Secure supers and hive together if needed with a good quality tape or strap. On those long trips where you may have to stop for fuel or stop at a rest area Bee nets are another safety tool. Bee Safe.
