Move hives to safer location

Moving hives to a safer location is a primary strategy to reduce pesticide exposure. Relocating hives away from areas with known or suspected pesticide use, such as agricultural fields with intensive spraying or residential areas with treated lawns, minimizes bee contact with harmful chemicals. Finding apiary locations in areas with bee-friendly forage and minimal pesticide risk is crucial. This method is a 'none' type solution in terms of direct material costs but involves variable moving costs depending on distance and equipment. Hive moving equipment, such as a hive carrier or truck, may be needed depending on the scale of relocation.
