Relocate apiary

Relocating the apiary to a site less frequented by bee-eaters is a strategic solution if predation pressure is consistently high and other methods prove insufficient. This involves scouting for alternative locations that are less attractive to bee-eaters, such as areas away from their known habitats, migratory routes, or nesting sites. Moving an apiary can be a significant undertaking, requiring hive moving equipment and careful planning to minimize stress on the bee colonies. While relocation can be effective in reducing bee-eater predation, it may not always be feasible depending on available land and beekeeping operational constraints. It is a more drastic measure considered when other mitigation efforts are inadequate.
