Set up a conventional bee hive - PEP BB animal.straw.beehive

Could existing bee hives work for this? For example,  if one was broken down into the components parts for a complete inspection then reassembled? Bees intact of course.

I would think if it was sufficiently deconstructed, that would count.

I built 4 complete hive boxes & started 4 nucs this summer. Finally moved the last beehive to it's permanent location today. I think they'll like it, especially once their field is planted with wildflowers! Here are pix of the move. Will dismantle one of them in the next few days for a good inspection & take more pix to satisfy the BB. These girls weren't very happy today. It was a fairly long bumpy ride.

Needed to inspect hives before winter so disassembled this one further than normal for the BB. Some unassembled new boxes & frames are shown next to the cardboard box. Those will be added early next spring.

I was wondering if this counts as setting  up a beehive. This is one of my educational videos on installing package bees we do.




if not no worries I can do a picture setup.
