This week someone talked about the physical health needed to keep bees on a large scale. I would just add to that discussion that the days I worked with a large operator this summer were some of my most painfree days I have had in years, I think because I was working! One of the things I am pondering as I grow as a beekeeper is how to set up and transport hives. Does anyone have an opinion on the Ezy loader made in Australia and available in Canada? While about as expensive as a new albeit small Bobcat/skidsteer it looks very practical as far as maneuverability out in a field and in how it can be used for hive inspections. Any comments?
