Not been on here for a while and although Ive searched the forum I cant find anything on moving hives.
Ive got a van with no bulkhead and have made a cart type thing to hold the brood box with handles for two people, theres a six inch gap between the bottom of the broodbox (mesh floor)and the ground, for ventilation. Im going to block the entrance with foam and then run gaffer tape around. I plan on changing the vents in the crown board and strapping the hive together then moving on Thursday night just as it starts to get dark at around 7.30. Plan on keeping my window open for airflow, will this be OK? So basically brood box with crown board
