When I was younger, my Aunt wrote me a letter telling my how when one ages
they find different ways of doing their chores.  Aunt Olive was a
subsistence farmer; sheep, ducks, chickens, garden and orchard.  She
mentioned ramps to unload feed and other back saving tips.  It occurs to me
that I am about the age that my Aunt was when she wrote that letter.  Today
it's be email.

Anyway, my advice: change your beekeeping goals.  Stop keeping bees for
honey production and change your focus to producing nucs.  You won't be
lifting 10-frame double deeps, you'll be working 5-frame boxes.  Anything
building beyond 5-over-5 gets spit in half.  There's more money in bees
than honey anyway.
