Hi all,
   
  I am a 2nd yr beekeeper with a problem... I want to move some bees (7 hives) about 60 miles from where i caught the swarms to my wife's family farm.  I want to move them without screening the entrances, but i want a bee net that i can put on them if i break down.  I have contacted a maker of bee nets and they want the following specs: length, width and drop on the sides, also whether i want ends sewed in-i.e. boxed or flapped.  I was wondering if anyone could help me with this ( i will get the dimensions, but i am talking about a small pickup truck on which i can haul hives (maybe a dozen or so, ideally the netting would extend over the back end)  any ideas would be welcome.  I am in the shenandoah valley of virginia
