how much of beekeeping is reliant on manual dexterity compared to being able to lift heavy weights ?
only reason i ask is that my wrist is scrap and they are talking about fusing it.
i can just manage to inspect bees atm but i cannot lift heavy weights.
getting someone to lift things isn't hard as i can pay someone but long term it doesn't look good.
i haven't owned bees long so i have no idea how heavy supers are when full.
my bees are placed so i can drive upto them but i have no idea how much lifting is involved.
fusing my wrist will dramatically reduce any dexterity in that hand maybe both as both are not very good.
just looking for some advice
