I'm a large sideliner (500+ hives) that up to this point have done
everything by hand, including some pollination services. Humping hives for
hours at a time by myself is becoming real old. I'm going to switch some
over to migritory style this coming season and would appreciate any advice
on what system to use. Here in the midwest there are two commonly used
methods that I'm aware of:
        1.) A pallet that incorporates 4 bases as the top of the pallet and
uses a "Meyer's clip" to keep the boxes in position.
        2.)The California  style that uses cleated bases and covers for each
individual hive and these cleats interlock the bases to the pallets and the
bottom of the pallet locks the covers of the hives below. Again 4 hives to a
pallet.
 
 
I'm new to the net and wonder if there is a place where honey prices are
listed for bulk quantities.
