17C - moving bees to clean/disease-free hives


Yes, perfect day to begin the moves.  I start at one end of the apiary and, each day transfer the next colony on to the scorched, scrubbed hive of the one before.  Got it?
First  part of move.
Brood box on the left is now on the clean floor.
The old floor in the middle is now empty - ready for cleaning.
The super on the right will be brushed clear of bees and placed above a clean QX above the brood box.
