We have always found the handholds insufficient, and after my husbands stroke
10 years ago, he was unable to lift a super at all. So we went to the local
hardware store and purchased door pulls such as those used for a screen door
and screwed them in place on either side of the hive bodies. Now he can get a
firm grip on the supers without worrying about them slipping and dropping a
heavy box of honey or bees. This might not be economical for a large scale
operation, but it kept these hobbiest beekeepers able to continue enjoying their
hobby for many more years. Conni and Clifford Still, Bayport, Long Island,NY
