HOWTO: Move hive that has supers.



Hello....

I have several largish hives which I want to move to a new location. I only
have experience with moving small hives (just a brood box) long distance
(several miles)....but I have hives with 2 or 3 supers which I need to move
and would like some ideas on how to do it as strapping the WHOLE hive
together and moving it at once (presumably the best method) might be a bit
heavy. Additionally I've read several articles on moving a hive, regarding
the minimum distance you have to move a hive....I would like some input on
this as well, as there is one hive which would need to be moved only 50m
(150ft) and another 100m (300ft)....which are below what I've read (1mile)
but far enough to make it un-viable to move them 2m at a time to the new
location. If  I moved them 150ft.....what is the worst that would happen?

Many Thanks in advance.

Daniel.
