A mobile crane for lifting and transporting beehives. The crane comprises a four wheeled garden trolley (2) on which is mounted a base plate (3) and support (4) for a vertical column (5) tat acts as the crane tower. A rotating stirrup (6) on the top of column (5) allows a beam (7) to traverse about the vertical axis of the column. Chain (13) from trolley (2) to hook (14) allows for levelling of the beam (7). Roller (8), which carries manual winch (9), can roll along beam (7). Manual winch (9) is connected by winch rope to shackle (10) which connects to grabber (11) which hooks and locks onto a beehive super (12). The mobile crane of this innovation provides for strain free lifting of beehive supers off beehives and onto trolley (2) for maintenance or transport. -' 1 Figure 1
