Few hundred meters? Like, shady to sunny area or something? Or is the migration just a seemingly pointless thing?
They move closer to their food sources which vary between wet and dry season. I have no idea why they do not increase their forage area instead. It seems a strange adaptation, I guess building a new hive has lower energy requirements.
