Hi all, this is my first post to the site, although I have been reading (probable too much) for several months now. I'm considering the purchase of a poly hive that is posted on the FOR SALE section of this site. Although I had not planed to have any bees this year I thought I would jump in a get my feet wet. At this time my biggest question is what will be the correct way to transport them to my home. I do not own a pick up but could probabley borrow my fathers and his has a cap on the box. When they are being transport like this should the hive entrance be covered with something to keep the gals inside. Any other information that would be needed is greatly appreciated.
Also I have thouroghly enjoyed reading many of the postings, it seems that every one is very willing to help each other. Some times I think I may be getting too much information and the more I get the more complicated this whole beekeeping thing appears to be.
Thanks to all!
