Let me very blunt.  The two primary causes of beekeepers back are poor
lifting position and lifting weights that are too heavy, and these two
are inter-related.

If you were working as a manual labourer in a responsible UK Company you
would receive training in all aspects of lifting  and your subsequent
performance on the job would be monitored.  Persistent lifting of
excessive weights would take you down a course towards termination of
employment.

It is a sign of outdated thinking that regards such damage to people as
an inevitable outcome.  Heavy lifting can always be avoided by careful
planning.
