Beeees!!!!

(b) Apiarian industries. The rules in this part do not apply to a driver who is operating a commercial motor vehicle controlled and operated by a beekeeper engaged in the seasonal transportation of bees."

The bee owners. Move them South and at night then summer back to the orchards and fields they need pollinated.

Side note. Some bee owners don't want bee death, so no faster than 60.mph. And watch how many you kill. They will not hire you back if you have high bee loss.

 

I hate bees.
Years ago i stopped for a nap in the middle of no where South Dakota, as usual i left the windows down a couple inches for air flow. When i woke up the entire inside of the passenger door and rear corner were covered in honey bees 2 to 4 inches thick. Luckily it was a bit cool so they were docile. Mid 50s or so. i was able to use my clip board to gently scoop them out. But the whole time i was fighting the urge just to leave that worn out pete where it sat. If i had been empty i probably would have.

 

Sounds like a queen on the move

 

Possibly. Or a bee truck parked near me. Idk. My brother has bees. I helped him move them once. That was enough for me.

 

Bees go all over. This time of year. South to north. West to East. Just hauled from Florida to Maine.
Loads from Texas to the Dakotas.
June from Texas to Wisconsin.
I don't run California, a lot of bees go in and out.
The beekeepers get paid to supply the bees for crop pollination. The honey harvested,(I'm told) is a bonus.
Bee hauling you need to follow hos,with an exemption for the 30 minute break.
You need to water the bees in transit.
Pay depends on customer like all commodities.
Internet has plenty of information.
Good luck.

 

First week in June is the best time to haul bees.

 

Noticed lots of northbound bee haulers on 35 and 81 in Kansas last couple weeks ...the grand forks nd area to devils lake area is a hot spot for bees .

 

Hauling Bees... That's interesting... lol

 

How does one visually tell that a truck is hauling bees? I want to keep an eye out for them.

 

You can see the hives thru the tarp. The tarp is a open weave mesh, not a solid cloth like a machine tarp.
Similar to a nursery tarp.
