Recently, we've spent more of our time in the Dakotas than we have at our house. The kids have very nearly gone feral, digging through the freezer for pizzas and speaking incoherently at us (I guess really nothing new) for the few days we have had them instead of their grandparents. Our yard is a mess, our bees are hungry, the garden is neglected - but sometimes, you just have to hire a guy to move your bees around and chase them there.We moved bees for work to South Dakota, and it was definitely a feat. We had some difficulty getting a truck to take our hives. We only wanted to ship around 120-150, which we were told was not a full load, and we'd have to pay full price. That was not a problem, but the issue of securing fewer pallets than the truck would hold was a concern. The logistics of moving hives is absolutely insane. I don't know how commercial guys do it all the time, but I guess you get a rhythm going and you're good.
