I'm going on the idea that Michael Bush is correct when he says that the bees will find the new hive. Of course I'll do my best to block the entrance in a way to make the bees re-orientate to their new location. http://www.bushfarms.com/beesmoving.htm

I never had much luck with short moves even when obstructing the entrance, hope it works out better for you. If your weather is cooler and they aren't flying as much, it may work out better. Of course, going into winter is the last time of the year you want to loose population. For short moves, I always wait for winter when I know there will be multiple weeks of non-flight. Not sure where you're located, so maybe the winter plays no part. Keep us posted how you make out.
