We have 2 of these, ended up changing the tyres over to small motorbike tires, more tread, easier to get through sandy/muddy terrain. only $45 per tyre to change over at tyrepower
There still seems to be some lifting and carrying going on. It seems to me that a set of ramps up into the trailer would be of benefit. Hook onto a hive, drive up (reverse up?) into the trailer, turn and deposit the hive, reverse back and down the ramps for the next hive.
Like my daddy used to tell me, you have to be smarter than the equipment you're trying to operate. I bet the girls were pissed after all that high pitched noise and bumping around. Awesome piece of equipment that all of us with beekeper's back need.

You are the Benny Hill of beekeeping! I love your sense of humor!

This is a fantastic idea! We'll have to give it a go ;)

I don't give two shits about bee's but I fuckin love this guys videos.
I need one of those tired of moving hives by my self by hand. Thanks for sharing.
It's makes it a lot easier when you have a lot to move around.

Hope you're well, Bush Bee Man
Doing good!
Good stuff.
Thank you!
LOL, where do you keep the spare tyre? I was waiting for a stump to eat one of the tubes. I'm guessing ramps might be your next investment ;)
This left looks real good but I think if the handles were down about a feet or so . I think it will work out after you use it a while. Thanks
If you grab it from the front or back, instead of the sides, you could drop the hives right on your stand.
You're rough as guts Bush Bee Man
This looks about 100x more cumbersome than just picking up the hives by hand. How heavy are the hives?

How does it go with the Poly hives?
The tree that you can see in the window at 2:25 looks like a chicken!
Wow! It sure does!!
A little Dingo mini loader would be a much more efficient option
Could i ask where did you get it from and how much was it?
Are you still using this trolly? Has it been useful long term?
We sure are! It does a great job
Looks bad for the hive as you are lifting it to the side. That would be smashing the frames against each other.
We would put playing card in are spokes to make that noise
We’re did you get the machine from
Useful toy.
peg and a card
I was wondering after a several years do you still use this? How did it hold up? Is it worth the money?
Great video but what a heap of junk lol
