Moving Hive

Hello all, last spring I started with two hives, and enjoyed every minute I got to spend with my bees. I did however notice that I put the two hives too close together to work comfortably on them. Lot's of bumping into the next hive when bending over. Also, I usually work with my partner on the hives and there is just not enough space on the sides and backs of the hives to be efficient. I know that you can't just move hives around, even for short distances. But I am wondering if I could move one hive one foot sideways (away from a fence) and the other hive two feet sideways and a little backwards (about a foot)from the hive next door now that it is winter and the bees are not active outside? Not sure if that would work. Let me know what you think...

Thanks a lot!

Marc
