Greg,
     Just pick them up an move them at night with as little disruption as
possible.  If not too many are hanging out they can be smoked back in,
but you won't lose many if you just pick up the whole thing.  I did move
one recently where I left a large cluster on the blocks, and I placed a
nuc there to collect the bees and rejoined them at the new location the
next night.  I have even moved hives in this rural area on an open
trailer with clusters hanging outside and they stay pretty well, even
onthe front surface.  With a closed truck it's a piece of cake.
 
Jerry in Pa.
