James has to move.

The colony is a give-away.

2 deeps, bottom board, cover, and stand.

The Colony hasn't been maintained, so it's probably plugged out.

 

So it's probably between 125 and 200 lb.

He says, if you put a ratchet strap around the boxes it will probably

hold together.

The rub is that the back yard is below street level, so I assume there

may be stairs or grade involved.

 

Some kind of 'hive lifter' will probably be needed,  or a dolly with

straps.

Also a cleat or closer for the entrance.

Move at or after dark.

Move three miles or more.

 

You'll probably need a truck or van, and a posse

 

Who's up for this adventure?
