If you are moving to the Denver area proper, as in the City and County
of
Denver, you are allowed to have only two hives on your property and need
permission of your neighbors.  In agricultural areas surrounding Denver,
then as many as you want.  Unfortunately, varroa is here also along with
some losses from Penncap M.  There are no bee producers as in package
bees in the area that I am aware of, I got my bees from your neck of the
woods, Navasota TX.  I haven't moved any bee hives the distance you are
planning but from reading this list over the years proper ventilation is
important.  You might want to wait until the weather settles in the
Denver area usually late April or early May however; we're having a
blizzard right now with 12 to 15 inches predicted.  Good luck on your
move.
