Moving the hive

Thanks to NJEB I have learned much about moving the hive. We will be adding a carport with a room above it later this spring. As we just recived the intial plans back from the builder last week. NJEB informed me that moving a hive is one of the tricker task that a beekeepr can attempt. John Byers confirmed this and confirmed NJEB knowledge that you can only move the hive a foot a day or your bees will get lost. So they bees are going to live with John Byers bees for a few weeks- apparently they bees are fine with a major relo(over 2 miles) but move the hive more than a foot a day and they get lost. The things you learn.
