Re: Helpful tips on lifting hive bodies?

Or a guy?
Or note the hight relative to yours, and accomodate, while keeping it
off the ground. There really is nothing, except a huff and a puff and
a pull. Make sure you've a place to put them quickly after they're in
the air. I know that GENTLE is a keen way to keep them, and I learned
that by thunking like a lunk. 
Good luck and invite another bee buddy over.
