Nick I need to move my hive that's in a log about 50 meters away from a neighbor who fogs mosquitoes, how often are you moving the hive ?I had planned on moving them 500mm every night but you say to do it through the day but how often?

Hi Nick! I've been watching your videos and getting my feet wet with the world of keeping stingless bees. I love in Thailand, and they're everywhere here- mostly in places people don't want them. I want to be able to help relocate them safely into boxes :)

At the moment, I've got a couple spots on my house where the bees are trying to make haves in places that there really isn't even room for a hive. In particular, there's a wooden window that they're trying to build on, on the outside of it. I'm wondering how to gently stop them and get them to move into the bamboo I've provided for them right next to it. There's no space for brood in what they've built, so I don't even know if there could be a queen in there. I have a video clip that shows better- could I send it to you for some advice?

Thanks for making these videos, they're so helpful, I love your channel <3
