Moving Bees for Pollination

June 14, 2013

The last time I spoke with Davey he was repairing his trucks to yet again move bees across the country for pollination. Since beekeepers transport their hives with all their bees, I was wondering if the same amount of bees come back when it's time to pack up and leave. If the hive is healthy, the same amount of bees will return home with him as he brought to pollinate. The best time to move bees is around 6:30 PM when it starts to cool down or in the morning before the bees leave the hive to pollinate. At any other time, a greater number of bees will be away from the hive. Also, bees are temperamental when it comes to weather so hopefully it is not too hot!
