Greetings all,



As my bees get their first good chance for cleansing flights this winter, my
thoughts have are increasingly focused on upcoming spring and summer
activities.



My big question is how am I going to move 12-14 hives 80 miles for blueberry
pollination?



In the past I have crammed my pickup (6 cyl Sierra) bed full of boxes, but I
don't like lifting boxes that high and I also can't fit all the hives into
one load.



What should I be thinking about and looking for as I begin shopping for
trailers?



I do not anticipate expanding hive numbers much beyond this level.  After
blueberries the hives will need to go somewhere else (raspberries?) for the
summer, and then back to my winter yard.



There will be some off road/open field travel.



Many Thanks,



Andrew Dewey
