I have 4 hives on individual scales that are plotted on a chart one
reading a minute, just to see if messing with the hives would put off
foraging. I smoked 2 while not smoking the other 2 the amount of nectar
collected dropped by about 30% on the smoked hives for that day. If you
are not concerned about the amount of honey yes you can inspect your
hives as many time as you want.

> A lot of people (who should know better) advise against opening hives "too often." What is too often?
