It is unclear to me how to proceed. For both, the **bees** and the **bitcoin**, I have a plan, but there are some uncertainties. Let's discuss...

<center><h1>The Bees</h1></center>

There are [three hives](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLECntU4sFKgD5VdviqcVDvWeJtl8zcKLn). One is very short and will be easy to move. No problem. The other two are taller and much heavier. I cannot move them in any way that will be damaging to the hive or the contents therein. 

I did consider that, after strapping all the boxes together securely, I could possible wriggle them up onto the tractor bucket, but I'm concerned about vibration and bumps that could disturb the comb in the hives. 

A buddy of mine suggested that I rig up a sling where I could dangle the entire hive below and elevated tractor bucket. This would certainly be more gentle on the hive's contents. So far it sounds like the best idea. 

Do you have any experience moving big hives? Do you have any suggestions?

<center><h1>The Bitcoin</h1></center>

When I say I want to move Bitcoin what I mean is that I intend to take some of my earned Steem Based Dollars over to Bittrex via @blocktrades and start investing in some altcoins... you know, just for fun. 

The challenge is that there are so many and my investment money is so limited. I am having a tough time deciding which coins to invest in. I like the idea of investing in some smaller coins (lesser value) just so I can have fun watching them climb. I can also afford to get some whole coins instead of just fractions. 

A buddy of mine was discussing how he is interested in the THC coin because he firmly believes in the research and use of medical marijuana.  Apparently this coin has something to do with how that industry is supported. I'm not against medical marijuana and the coin was cheap, so yesterday I put $13 SBD in to invest in 305 THC coins. Today the value is down, but who knows... maybe it'll be a good long term investment.

Some of the other coins I've looked at are:

1. DASH (not cheap)
1. NEO
1. XRP Ripple
1. OMG
1. MaidSafeCoin
1. Golem
1. CoinDash
1. IOTA (but not on Bittrex)
1. BitShares (BTS)
1. Siacoin (SC)

I have no really good reason for any of them except that I've done some loosey goosey research to come up with that list. I'm still learning about what all this means. That seems like a long journey, but for now I'm just going to get my feet wet with some of these. 

Do you any tips, tricks, warnings or suggestions to consider before moving my SBD over to BTC, then to invest in some altcoins?
