Moving hives to OSR - Super Organised !

Beats walking with a full national and super strapped for about a kilometre to my car as did earlier this season !

These guys are super organised, Though lot of bouncing around of hives over the rough terrain.

Pretty efficient and it looks like very little disturbance to the bees. Any idea why there were 3 entrances to the hives? It looked like there was one along the bottom as usual, but then there were two others, each in the middle of the box.

Hi BP

Yes, noticed that, assume are Nucs atop full colonies.

Fascinating video though from an organisational point of view.

 

[EKBee]

My back would approve

Good, but not quite as efficient as this custom trailer perhaps. Hives are already on a stand just lift them up using the jacks, remove trailer, level, come back slide trailor under stand, lower hives onto trailer and off you go.

The trailer is a nice idea but I would struggle to find places to put it.

Boom loader has to be the thing. Lighter than the little truck and probably takes up less space.

If I ever finish mine I will post some pictures of it complete.

I love the fork lift. Does anyone knows the name for such a fork lift? I would suppose that it costs quite a few pounds, but would still like to check...

Better with middle row of hives which can move out when come to desired place. Mostly here are made for 30 hives ( each row for 10 hives).

I think the gap in the middle is for another 5 hives.
Nice trailers you have over there.

Goran how much would a trailer like that cost?

This one new from advertisement - roughly 2000 euros or 1400 pounds.

Ouch bit out of my price bracket lol

Thanks,

but I don't use them as I am stationary, also have limited time/money issue to afford luxury of such one.
