We have all at some time had back pain.
Most beekeepers get brains at 65 and if commercial get a lifter. An ezylifter made a huge difference in that I could work all week without doing much heavy lifting. Very simple to put on excapes as it can lift 5 3/4 boxes at a time.
Like Peter we are all getting older. Now 76 and down to 24 hives and 36 nucs.
Just playing with bees now trying to get back my old genes which I have mostly lost through mite reinvasion taking out a lot of colonies.
