My mentor came to help me prep a hive for moving, he had some hive staples. They are about 2" wide and 3/4" deep staples, they cross the bottom board to the first box, first box to the second and so on. Once the hive is stapled together on all corners and the top is nailed down, and the entrance is blocked. It is a breeze to move with a hand truck.
I had another hive that I strapped together, and moved with a hand truck. It was a mess.
I ordered a box of hive staples from Brushy Mountain.
Good Luck
