  Back-Savers:
1) Use medium-depth hive bodies instead of deep hive bodies.  And/or leave
one deep always on the bottom (so it is less likely to fill with honey.)

2) Make a platform to set on top of a garden cart. When boxes are lifted
from the hive, they can be set on the platform on top of the cart. Much less
lifting from the ground. Platform could be made from shelf wood with cleats
on the bottom to keep the pieces from sliding from side to side.
