why the need for these

When you do decide to move them, make sure the boxes cannot separate. Close the entrance. If moved in warmer weather make sure there is adequate ventilation ( OMF and mesh screen on top). Make sure the frames are lined up fore and aft, so that they do not swing on sudden braking.

:

Now winter is the worst time to move a family of bees. In put out that will consume more honey and you are stressed, has many disadvantages. For example, this move can cause diarrhea, or while moving the ball fall bees and can not climb back and die of cold or even die during transport queen. Why not wait until spring, or when the temperature is over 15 degrees.

i agree

Could you imagine the two of them falling over and all the bees getting out in the van/car.

Also, wrap the hive in some net curtain or garden-type insect mesh. It'll keep any escapees under control.
