Helpful tips on lifting hive bodies?

by kwh <kellie@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Aug 7, 2007 at 03:57 PM

Hi All,

I'm just wondering if anyone has helpful hints on how to lift/move
hive bodies for inspection purposes?
I'm a relatively strong female (used to lifting 50 lbs) but now with
the bodies full of honey and bees I guess they're probably 60-80 lbs
which is quite a challenge - particularly since I'm trying not to
disturb/drop/crush any bees.  Thought maybe someone has a contraption
or method suggestion?
I was considering attaching some handles to the outside to help as my
hive bodies just have a shallow hand-hold - thoughts?
Thanks!
