Jaimes,
I recommend you put straps pulling down the large strap on either side of the middle hive.
I do the same thing when I transport my hives on my trailer but I have each hive strapped and I put them tight together. When I leave them apart like you have, the 2 outer hives can fall towards the center. Place a strap straight under the hives and add the straps connecting the top and bottom strap on either side of the middle hive.
Good luck.
I just strapped all of my hives to the 2 base units. If I had 2 sets of anchors I would have strapped the 2 base units to the ground. They are between my house and workshop, well protected so I was not too worried about them. I they were out in the open, I would had gone out and bought anchors.
