I think you are already on the right track - consider a small pickup camper -
I've seen large operations (several thousand requeenings/year at Jim Smith's in
Yuma) run from these - and if bees getting in are still a problem, a "veil" of
screening hung to cover the back door will work. Of course, you'll probably need
a pickup, but a slide-in camper could always be set up by itself on blocks and
hauled away when no longer needed. A shade tree would be a good spot to set it
up under.
