Greetings

Fortunately, I don't have to move hives all that often, but when I do it's
often in the summer. Usually I nail 4 wooden slats up the sides, and move
them as triples (three story). (I have a lift gate on my pick-up truck, so
weight is not a problem.)

I would like to get away from hammer and nails. It's slow, annoys the bees,
and damages the boxes. Has anybody used a system of banding or strapping on
hives? There is a variety of styles going from plastic ribbon, nylon weave,
to steel.
