The bees had been cooped up in their hives with blocked entrances for close to 60 hours.
They were ready to be released!
After moving the hives I left the entrance blocker boards on for another day. I read that this helps them to re-orientate to their new location.
Not all went as I hoped it would

LOL That went sorta well, sharing to twitter!
That was a little startling when all those bees came out of hive 1! Seems like you would have been stung a bunch of times, but all in all at least the bees now know where home is!
I thought I was done for! LOL You didn't get to see me running to the house like a scared school kid! :)
HAHA...yeah I'm sure you were glad that no one saw that! : - D
I watched with admiration. Thank you
did you get stung
Not this time! LOL
Lovely thinking of your loving animals
Kinda cool how the bees renavigated themselves with seemingly no trouble, sometimes we don't give nature enough credit i guess!
Awesome post, looking forward to more bee adventures,I'd love to have my own hives someday.
