Beehive clamping and transfer device

摘要

A device for clamping beehive elements together during transit, including a clamp for each of two opposite sides of the beehive. Each clamp includes a U-shaped top hook member with one leg hooked onto the top beehive element and bracing the hive elements, and another leg having an eye for engaging a yoke assembly during lifting. A bottom hook member for each clamp includes a hooking portion under the bottom beehive element and a linear portion bracing the bottom hive elements. An adjustable turnbuckle for each clamp engages a chain linked to the top hook member. The other turnbuckle end is mated to the bottom hook member.
