I recommend you sell your california bees and buy new ones in Texas. I
understand that when you cross a county line in Texas, a moving permit is
required. Bees coming from an africanized area to a non africanized area require
inspection. I believe the focus of these regulations are geared for persons with
20 hives + so I suggest you contact the Texas State apiary inspector.  Other
states like Arizona may have regulations about bee hives passing thru them.
  When moving bees in hot weather it is a good idea to top screen the hive
and water them down occationally to prevent overheating.  I recommend not
feeding bees in transit as feeders will spill. Open trailers have stiff suspension.
The bounceing on long trips is hard on the bees. Good Luck! Welcome to Texas.
