Actually Jim, that is a very fair point worth reminding and not just for “oldies”. If you were needing to lift off a 3rd National brood chamber full of honey from the top of a stack (already raised on a stand) every time to inspect, it would test many of us and risk injury. Other larger brood chambers would be even worse.Jim Norfolk wrote: ↑19 May 2019, 18:39Stacks of brood boxes are very heavy for us oldies. Any one tried Rose one size boxes?
I like the Rose principle but don’t envisage re-equipping. A full national super is quite heavy as it is. When under time pressure I often remove two at a time and then regret it once airborne
