Replied to a ad on Craig's list of need to relocate bees, 2 hr away called and went to 2 hives 1 a double deep
And the other was 4 deep, owner had to move and nowhere to put bees but wanted to keep equipment so after a inspection we swapped all to my equipment and I left him 50 new frames, And loaded up the bees

I took out some capped honey for him and we left, very nice guy

Got them to my isolation yard and well let them settle long day for them.

I am. Love it went from 2 hives to 8 this year. Right up with hunting, and starting this next season / spring with my kids, so another adventure

wow 2 hours with a hive laying down never tried that ! I expect you will have 16 to 20 hives by april bees have a way of doing that (increasing). we went from 12 to 28 this year with a goal of 40 by next summer any more than that I will have to buy another trailer.. good times and a lot of fun
