I have to transport bees a distance of about 500 miles. They will be in nucs. with travel screens and OMFs, space underneath for good airflow, securely strapped up. The journey will be overnight to prevent overheating. Other than stops to spray them with water a few times are there any additional precautions I should take to make the journey as stress free and comfortable for them.
Should the boxes be warm way or cold way with regard to direction of travel?
Not making the trip is not an option.
With thanks.
