What do I need to move a current hive.

Ok, here's the deal.

My neighboor, a relative of mine (grandfathers brother), who has a few beehives. I have another relative(grandmothers nephew) who lives about 20-30 miles away. He has started current farming. I was wondering what I would need to move a hive or 2 to his farm to pollinate his plants.

I've been tought how to take care of the bees, and have all the standard equipment, but I have never moved a colony before (nor has my neighboor).

How do I do it, and what do I need?

I probably can't just smoke 'em good, board up all the holes, load the hive in a pickup bed and just move it down the highway at 55...
