Trailer axles come in various weight limits.  You can have a trailer made to
you special needs, single, double or triple axle.  Remember that a trailer
is measured from the hitch point, not the bed.. I have a single axle Bobcat
trailer, the axle is rated for 6000 lbs., with 235R16LT radials, 3042lbs
single @80psi., electric brakes.. I also have a car hauler, (cost $2100)
double axles @3500lbs ea., with surge brakes, 700X15 LT bias ply tires..As
trailers are idle more, these type tires last longer in the weather that
radials.  Surge brakes work great and no brake control is necessary,
therefore they can be pull by any vehicle capable of hauling a trailer. To
haul bees, an over the tire, flatbed trailer would be ideal, with axles and
tires rated to haul the load.. I haul 64 ten frame, story an a half,  hives
on pallets with a 12 foot flat bed truck plus pull my Bobcat...In fact I am
going to the orange woods in Lake Wales, Florida tonight..
