What would happen if you removed one hive and the other had 200 lb of honey in the supers? I'd centralise them over the place where the legs of your rather nice have stands are connected.

Hi FS, thanks for your observations .....
Firstly if its that bad you better buy a boat
Secondly these hive stands are not going to be used for hives standing on when working they will be on lower hive stands or pallets (have been looking at plastic ones) they stack in each other so don't take up much room and are light... But yes you are correct they could topple over if there were only two hives one on each side BUT then again these hive stands were built to take 3 hives so that would not happen if used correctly
