In this video, I demonstrate how to move a hive of bees on your own.
The first task is to ensure that the colony of bees is securely contained within their hive.
I insert a strip of foam into the entrance to block it up, and this is done with the aid of a hive tool.
Secondly, remove the winter feeder from the hive, and ensure the crown-board is bee tight.
Next, strap-up the hive up from all sides. I use a cross configuration with ratchet straps to do this. This ensures that the hive parts don't become separated during transit.
When you move the hive, the sides of the frames need to be facing the direction of travel. This way the frames are less prone to moving about.
