Waldemar shared, "Vertical hives do give more honey production and are easier to handle in migratory operations."
Well, having messed around with some top bar hives and long-box designs, and having moved some hives, I think the horizontal hives are easier for two guys to put on a truck.
But that's relative. No hive is really fun to move, and it's no fun moving hives, in my simpleton opinion.
I won't move hives if I don't have to. I'd rather make a nuc and carry it to the place I need a hive.
