In mid-March this year, Chris Andreychik reports, “we moved 242 live beehives and about as many empty hives from Fort Myers, Fla., to Bristol” in the same state. For the purpose, “we utilized our 1979 Kenworth K100C,” better known to the haulers, with affection, of course, as “Brutus.” Their “boogie north” took place “in the wee hours of the morning so our cargo wouldn’t fly away. Only got stung once in the process!”

It weighs more than 100,000 pounds alone. Getting it placed on the trailer in the correct position and then pulling it out of the water like you would do with your bass boat gets a little tense.”
