Can you be more specific about what you want to know?

There is a book on the subject. Follow the Flow or something like that.

There are trucking companies which will do what you want they should be able to give you info. Tom

One thing sqk forgot: Who is your insurance through and what kind of limits are on the policy? Will they cover the cleanup after you loose a load of bees? Will they cover the costs of replacement and loss revenue for the beekeeper?

questions I have never asked my trucker.

Do you get freight insurance and cover the loads yourself?

No. I wonder if my Business Insurance covers what you are asking about. I do have Insurance on my hives, but more than ten have to be destroyed. I don't recall what we valued them. And I don't know if they are covered in transit or just while on the ground.
