In my  circle of beekeeping associates 
we are having more that need a cane to get  around and can no longer lift a

This suggests that we need to get away from Langstroth's system of   heap 
of stacking boxes that are awkward to lift and can get very heavy. Physical  
fitness shouldn't be a pre-requisite for beekeeping. I'm working on ideas!
