I want to switch hives in two places, basically. They're more than two miles apart. Both are four boxes (1 deep + 3 meds, and 4 meds) so a bit taller than the space available in the back of my hatch-back car.
Any suggestions on how to do it?
For ventilation I think it's good to have screen bottoms (8/in. mesh) for the upper section, flush to the bottom of the box, along with something rigged to hold it up and allow air flow from below. I guess that would have to go into place the night before, so the next day I can move each of the two sections separately. I can build something relatively simple, but it's not clear in my mind's eye yet.
Probably this is something that someone figured out already. Ideas? Experience?
