Secure hive components

Securing hive components is paramount for safe hive movement. Before moving, all hive parts, including boxes (brood boxes and honey supers), frames, and lids, must be tightly fastened together. Hive straps, ratchet straps, or strong tape are used to prevent shifting or separation of hive components during transport. Loose components can lead to hive collapse, bee escapes, and damage to frames and comb. Thoroughly securing the hive ensures structural integrity throughout the moving process, regardless of transport distance.
