I have a colony that someone wants to buy. The plan is for him to come by the house and pick it up Monday evening after all the bees have gone to bed. The colony is in a wooden nuc right now, but I want to transfer them to a Jester's EZ Nuc Box. Can I move the bees into the Corplast box tomorrow (Sunday)? Will they be OK in there for two days?
The temps in the Low to upper 80's and and winds gusting up to 30 mph, is it safe for me to move the colony?
Should I just wait until he gets here and transfer the bees? I'm hoping it will be dusk, but it could be dark. My last experience with bees in the dark didn't turn out too well.
Thanks!
