It is deeply saddenning to hear of Bob's injury. All sympathy and wishes
for full recovery. Could we ask , gently, how the injury occurred? Is there
a lesson / warning here for all beekeepers?
I ask because our Regional Bee Inspector here in eastern UK has been forced
into retirement by inoperable damage to his shoulder caused by lifting a
heavy pile of supers once too often - tearing the ligament. Bee boxes were
designed when manual labouring was the norm - now we commonly use aids,
occasional heavy lifting can be more dangerous. Learning of the misfortunes
that do occur can give a salutory warning.
