I am getting 3 nuc boxes this weekend in vancouver and need to transport them to Sandy Oregon. Will it be safe for the bees to transport them in my roof pod? I do not have a truck and do not feel safe with them in my car. I have follow up questions if anyone is available to respond today, May 21, 2021. Thank you!!

Hello: roof pod may not be ideal for transporting bees, especially if the weather is hot and aeration is poor in the pod. If your pod has good air circulation and you are moving the nucs when the temperatures are low, then probably you could try transporting them in your pod. If you have more questions then please feel free to call me at<personal data hidden> or<personal data hidden>.
