I heard from one of my hive 'landlords' that I need to move the two
hives there across the lot.  The site is in Carnation, WA about an hour
from my homebase, south of Seattle, so I would prefer to make this a
onetime move.
   Right now, the hives are about 40 feet apart on the north end of a 100 x
150 ft lot.  I am planning on putting them within a couple feet of each
other in order to keep them out of sight of the casual passerby.
   One hive is 4 deep boxes with lots of bees, the other is 3 mediums deep -
 not weak, but nowhere near as many foragers yet (I haven't done more than
a quick peek under the cover).  Both colonies are up on cement blocks - and
will be moved to a new wooden stand I am putting together.
   I need to make this move by myself - so I am wondering - is there any
way to strap a hive together and truck (rental dolly?) them over to the new
location?  If I move them at nightfall, will they re-orient themselves?
Would you put a "catcher-nuc" between the two old locations?

   Thanks for listening.
