For some reason, unknown to even me, I set up a couple of my hives with northern entrances. As Fall approaches, I would rather the entrances faced a sunnier direction and not the cold North wind. What would cause the least amount of confusion and trauma to the hive: 1) Simply removing the hive (without rotating) from the current bottom board to a bottom board facing South, or rotating the whole hive. I plan to place some obstacle in front of the new entrance so the foragers can re-orient and find their way home again.
