I perform the vast majority of hive inspections on my knees. Working bent
over is really tough on the back.
I have the surgical scars from the wear and tear on my back. I have the
luxury of keeping our research hives on elevated stands - which also
completely eliminates skunk problems - they don't climb nor jump well. As long as
the stand is taller than the skunk, never have a problem. Barricades,
pepper, tack strips - none of these work reliably, and our main yard is by
the river. We've lots of skunks.
