it has been found here in Australia that bees lifted by hand do stress
more than bees lifted by the BILLETT EASY LOADER.
it is also found that the beekeeper is also less stressed when using the
best hive loader ever built just ask any Australian beekeeper which loader
you should have.
check out the web page on www.om.com.au/beeload 20%of Australian
beekeepers have these loaders.
In conclusion to the loader not only makes the bees calm it also helps
the beekeeper keep his temperment at a passive level.
