These straps helped Save the Bees!
I'm guessing this will be one of your best reviews ever. I live in Orlando, Florida and I have two bee hives in my backyard. When news first broke about hurrican Irma, I went into panic mode and tried to figure out how to help my bees survive a hurricane. I ordered these ratchet straps so I could strap the hive boxes together and make sure the top lid was securely kept on. I also decided to use rope to stake the vibes into the ground. I didn't sleep a wink the night Irma came through. The winds were more intense then anything I had ever experienced. I kept saying "my bees are going to be destroyed!" every time a patch of hurricane force winds hit the house. The next morning I walked out into the backyard and saw two 50 ft trees that had been destroyed (one snapped in half, the other totally blown over) and tons of tree debris all over the yard....much to my surprise my bee hives were standing tall!!!! I couldn't believe it. These straps were awesome and so easy to use. That morning, the straps were just as tight and solid as they were when we first put them on. Thank you for helping to save my bees!! (I posted 2 pics, one is before hurricane Irma & the 2nd one is the morning after Irma.)
