In Moving- Bees with Team and Wagon, Two Men Go with Each Rig 



One does the driving of the horses, the other keeps the smoker 

 in good trim and is on hand in case of accident. It some- 

 times happens, even if the bees are well packed up at the start, that 

 leaks will occur in some of the hives after they are hauled some dis- 

 tance. If only a bee or two escapes, and the one with the smoker is 

 at hand, the leak may be stopped without removing the team from 

 the wagon. If it is hot weather and a considerable number of bees 

 are getting out, it is better to remove the team from the wagon at 

 once, while the repairing is taking place. Bees that escape from the 

 hives during the period of moving, are not usually in a stinging 

 mood, still, one should not take too many chances, but keep the bees 

 in the hives if possible. The weather will have something to do 

 about this, and we always take more precautions in hot, than in cool 

 weather while moving.
