Dear all

I have found a digital baggage weigher to be an easy tool for hive weighing.
It needs a strap or chain with a hook (made from a 6" nail) to go under one
side of the hive.  Hook under each side in turn and lift just enough to get
the side off the ground.  Take a reading each side and add the weights
together for the hive weight.

Typical scales weigh up to 100 Lbs, they hold the reading on the display
after it is taken, they work off a pair of AAA batteries, they fit in your
overall pocket and they retail in the UK for about UK£15-say US$24.


Best wishes
