Hi all!
I am located in Far North Queensland, so we can get a few cyclones every now and again! I was just wondering what other people do to protect their hives when a cyclone hits? I was thinking maybe to drive a few star pickets deep into the ground against all sides of the hive. Then wrap around the hive / pickets with truck straps. Do you think this would work? Another thing I was thinking was to strap them against palm trees, palm trees are indestructible! They don't snap or become up-rooted. The problem I think is is that they bend and flex a lot, this would probably pull the hive apart?. I suppose it is possible to seal the hives and put them in the shed, but dad will probably have something to say about that!
How have you protected your hives from cyclones?
Thanks for any input!
Sam.
