Always love the videos about moving the bees out. Thanks for sharing Bruce and glad you got another 50 on the road. I would love to have 100 or so to send every year, but just don't have the energy. I hope they all go and come wit no issues and that your season is awesome with the pollination hives!
Ty for sharing Bruce, here's to a good start to a good season for you.Blessed Days...👍 Harris is just getting ready to do the same thing I'm hoping he is able to video it,some day I'll have a few pallets to send with him.
Great work Bruce & Crew...!! That's a real nice looking deck-over tandem axel trailer. Also, those S130 bobcats with rear 5th wheel are sure fun to drive!!! LOL. It takes a good team and a good plan to make it all run smoothly. Nicely edited video. All the best to the bees!! 🐝🐝🐝✌
This was such an interesting and fun video to watch for a small backyard beekeeper like myself - no experience in pollination. Thanks for posting and all the best with the pollination. Let us know how it goes.
Thanks for the video, Bruce. Girls look good, how's the weight? Temps are going up next week and bees will finally be flying around here. Love your pollination videos 👍
I am not sure exactly about the weight. Do you mean per hive? And the drive time from the original spot to the holding yard was about 40 minutes or so I believe. The time to transport to the destination in California was about 2 days. Team drivers.
Ian, it's rarely an issue for the trucks to be over weight. I remember the only time we have ever had issues with weight, is after the honey crop and back to California or after pollination when hives are explosive.
@@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog so many variables. The max you can get on a truck is 480 4 high front to back 8 frame doubles equipment Max on 10 frame doubles is typically 408
We thought we were going g to have 456 but ended up 24 short. Actually might have been a good thing as the truck was pretty heavy when loaded. Some of the colonies were quite heavy. I am not really sure what the ideal target weight would be.
I enjoyed watching this. Hope your bees arrive and return safely. And also hope the insurance agent doesn't see that guy riding the pallet forks up to the top of the stack! ÷)

Yeah it’s fun. My sweet spot. But it is definitely tiring.
Glad to see you ended up being able to send bees again.
That's pretty awesome Bruce looks like a good time.
I love watching these videos, I wish I could get my numbers that high and send some out, maybe one day
Maybe so. Thanks for watching!
Looking good Bruce!
Hope they have a safe trip there and back. Look forward to seeing the return video.
Great video Bruce. Thanks for sharing the loading process. It's very interesting.

Great video! Looks like a fun day ☺️ hoping to get into almond pollination next winter!
Awesome. Thanks for checking in Emily!
Well, you did it again. Great job, as usual. I am sure this will give you something to tell us at Hive Life next year.

Glad you enjoyed it! I will try to keep the videos coming!!!
That looks awesome and a long day doing that .
Yes! Long day for sure!
But worth it. Lots of fun and satisfaction.
Nice good work brother
WOW…. Mobilbees
Thanks for the video, Bruce. Girls look good, how's the weight? Temps are going up next week and bees will finally be flying around here. Love your pollination videos 👍
Awesome Jose! The weight is good as far as I know. Some maybe a little light. They are in the Williams area. Excited to see how they return.
Jose, missed seeing ya in TN. Perhaps next year
@@taddrienstra7247 God willing, I'll be there man
@@taddrienstra7247 God willing we hope to be there
What weight targets do you feed them up to achieve 432?
Loaded at night, what are the drive times to get it where you want the load , to unload ?
I am not sure exactly about the weight. Do you mean per hive? And the drive time from the original spot to the holding yard was about 40 minutes or so I believe. The time to transport to the destination in California was about 2 days. Team drivers.

Whets the max number a guy would get on a trailer?
@@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog so many variables. The max you can get on a truck is 480 4 high front to back 8 frame doubles equipment
Max on 10 frame doubles is typically 408
We thought we were going g to have 456 but ended up 24 short. Actually might have been a good thing as the truck was pretty heavy when loaded. Some of the colonies were quite heavy. I am not really sure what the ideal target weight would be.
nice
What’s the purpose of the castor wheel on the skid steer? Great video. 👍
I think it just helps with easier agility.
✌👍🤗💖
Why do you not need to close the entrance when moving your bees?
Won't they be confused where their hive is?
(I mean before 5:35)
Nah there is some drift between hives but it doesn’t really matter.
I'll ask the dumb question. LOL! How do they know those are your hives to send them back?
The broker keeps track of where they are placed. Not really sure how. Mine have my initials on them for identification.
See you using a few of those supers that came from my uncle.
Absolutely. They are nice and you bailed me out in a pinch.
Wao! How many hive are you have in this farm?
52 of these are mine. We had 432 on the truck. This is the holding yard for pollination bees.
How are your bees when they return?
I did not send bees this year. Last year they did not do well. The previous two or three years they were in pretty good shape when they came back.
Hello guys new to this channel I live in Dothan those Bruce have any bee club here in town. Let me know please

Sale queens?
Not yet. Maybe someday.
@@brucesbees ya I’m thinking that also. Maybe someday. Just trying to expand right now
Never seen a green light when loading….hmmmm🤔
It’s actually yellow but looks green on film with the smoke for some reason. Works well.
