For a hobbiest with only a few hives it is quit convenient to use
standard deeps moving only one frame at a time.  At harvest time, for
example you begin with an empty box on a hand truck (or what ever you
may choose to use) and fill it one frame at a time.  When the super you
are harvesting is empty, it becomes the next empty to be filled.  It
won't work with very many hives since it is time consuming, bit it is
easy to lift.
