[QUOTE="tristan, post: 13082, member: 30"] we do bush in the spring, then pasture in summer. thats without moving hives. thats just the nature of the country side around here. downside is its a real mixture. we don't get good SI style clover or a crop of Rewarewa etc. we shift a few hives in for manuka. we used to do Pōhutukawa down the coast. we shift a lot for pollination, but thats a big tradeoff as we loose spring honey doing that. every area has its pro's and cons. some areas i know the beeks only have one flow and do one harvest. for us its multiple harvests for the different honey, that adds to the cost. you need to strip weight off the hives to shift them easily, but still have the hives big enough so you don't overcrowd them or have lack of stores and end up starving after you shift them in. there is advantages to keeping hives in one place.
