I am asking for advice on what kind of scale and where to obtain such
a scale for weighing hives.  I would like to monitor one of my hives
this spring and summer to better understand the timing of nectar
flows.  I've phoned several distributor of scales in my area and the
best they can come up with is an ~$1500 stainless steel contraption
which seems absurd to me.  What I've read talks about "shop scales"
but no place I call seems to know what these are.  I'm a novice hobby
beekeeper with just 9 hives.  Thanks in advance for any advice.
