Hi Andrew The best way to move your bees from place to other is to put them on caravan ( flat body) with weels ,So you can pull the body with bees togther and aftre that you can transfare them to another place aftre while , in this case you must close the intrances . If you want I can send to you some picture to your p.o.box , just inform me
