> Hello Michael & All, >I think if you would go to the Mann Lake tool for moving hives Michael you >might make your job easier. Maybe not? Bob, you're making this seem more difficult than it is. Really! All you do is tip the hive to the side, and insert the scale. Tip the hive onto the scale and read weight. No reaching underneath, lifting the hive onto the scale, or anything like that. Also, no need for any extra equipment.
