[QUOTE="Padre's Honey, post: 12452, member: 127"] Good morning, like you I also read the threads but seldom comment. I have had to work out the heavy lifting topic as I have had two spinal surgeries. I have three hives, two high FD boxes with 3/4 supers. When I do my inspections I have a spare FD box that I use to put the inspected frames (I tend to look at every frame) into, placed next to the hive until the hive box is empty and then inspect the bottom box. Once finished I build the hive back frame by frame in reverse of how I took it apart. It's a slower method but it works and there is no heavy lifting involved at all. If I have supers on, I carry a spare 3/4 box around with me to do the same. Luckily I only have 3 hives, all placed on a stack of three pallets so there is very little bending involved as I use the empty slot on the pallet to place the box I put the inspected frames in whilst inspecting the hive. It's a convoluted method, but it works for me and may give you some ideas... I'm not a good writer, so I hope this makes sense. [/QUOTE]
