I bought a commercial package scale. Looks a bit like a bathroom scale.
Weighs up to 250 lbs.
My hive stands are 2x4 on edge...two hives per stand.
I tip the hive sideways, and insert the scale under the edge of the hive.
I then tip the hive up onto the scale. Read the weight, and tip the hive
back...remove the scale.
Depending on the kind of hive stand, you might need a piece of plywood
under the scale, to hold it up.
I like this method because you don't have to lift the hive, it only takes
a minute, and can be done by one person.
