The January, 1999, issue of Bee Culture has an interesting article by Larry
Goltz about permanently mounting hives on short (10-16 ft.) flatbed
trailers.  Among the several advantages he cites is the potential income
from pollination contracts with small growers who only require one or two
trailer loads, each carrying 12-14 hives.  Has anyone in the group tried
permanently mounting hives on smaller trailers?  What advantages or
disadvantages did you encounter?  And, possibly most importantly, do you
believe there is any real market for pollination contracts utilizing such
small numbers of hives?  (I'm located in eastern Nebraska.  I assume my
"overnight towing radius" would be 600 miles at best.)  Thanks.
