I have my hives sitting on cinder blocks. I was going to use the
ratchet-type tie downs and strap the hive together so that the supers
don't separate from the hive body. I guess you could make loops on the
ends and use tent stakes to hold them to the ground. If the hive falls
over, at least it's intact and not broken open.
This is only my 2nd year, so maybe some of our more seasoned beekeepers
have other suggestions.

Could you please tell us newbies how to go about this hive prep?
Thanks,
