Colonies should usually be loaded so that it may be possible 

 to inspect any colony at any time, and one or two barrels of water 

 should be provided in case of necessity. 



A thing most often neglected in shipping cars of bees is the 

 bracing of the hives sufficiently to prevent jamming, with con- 

 sequent loosening of joints, leakage of bees and excitement. 



Probably only a small proportion of outapiarists will have 

 more than a rare experience in moving bees by this method, yet 

 there are locations where it may be advisable to move long dis- 

 tances to reach new and heavy flows. This is done by some of 

 California's best beekeepers who gD to the alfalfa regions of Nevada 

 and Utah each vear.
