Back at the turn of the century, we used shade cloth netting from a nursery supply center. For smaller trucks, not semis. Came in different size weaves.

Welcome to Beemaster.
Look for a net laundry bag. Figure out how large of an opening that you need for your hive box. Check the side of the net holes, it needs to bee 1/8 inch or less.

How many hives are you moving?  If they have screened bottom boards you don't need netting.  You just need to staple the boxes together and block the entrance the night before.  You can buy hive staples, but the big electrical staples work too.

More info would give better advice  :cheesy:
