How to Move Equipment With a Car

It can be challenging to be a beekeeper without a proper truck.  I've managed with a Corolla and Prius and I've actually been impressed with how much I can fit in the Corolla.

My biggest challenge has been avoiding getting wax, honey, and propolis all over the truck and seats.  Usually I put down some newspaper to take care of that problem and it has worked pretty well.

Surprisingly enough the back seat is where I get most of my cargo space from, the trunk can only fit a couple of boxes given their measurements.  They fit much better in the back seat, allowing up to six boxes compared to the two in the trunk.  Although a truck would be quite handy I think I would instead go with a simple trailer.  That would also help quite a bit the next time I need to move bees to another location.
