No Rush , if you find them sometime , did you build your own boxes or order them?
About 10 years ago I got into them .
I ordered a ton of stuff from "The Brushy Mountain Bee co.
Since then they went out of buisness. I took 2 courses on beekeeping.
I started all gang busters with 10 hives .
Between cold winters and losing queens I was down to 3 in 2 years.
Its a lot of work lifting medium supers much less big supers {boxes}
I wear a hood or a jacket dependng on their mood .
I lost a queen to late last year in a swarm and bought another in ETSY.
It was too late and she couldnt produce enough workers in time.
It is tough because my balance is off and in spots where i kept them was 30 minutes from where I live

I thought you was going say I forgot to ground the other end to a copper water pipe
Worst poke I ever took. Left arm touching a 4" copper water pipe, right hand touched the neutral side of 30 amp, 220 three phase. Knocked me off an 8' scaffold onto a concrete floor. Slurred my speech for about 15 minutes.
 
The school in Fl. I attended one year had a Principal who use to nail upholstery tacks in his paddle so that the large round ends (not the pointed ends) would leave extra welts when he was finished . We had to drop our pants too.

I did alomost the same I was at panel hanging on to a water pipe and screw driver touched the N
I was lucky it blew me off (or I threw myself off ) ended up on floor with weird heart beat.
To this day I suffer PVC's of the heart, and have right branch bundle block

I remember seeing the boys get paddled in school. Always made me tear up…those were1x4 paddles

Getting hit between a neutral under a load and a ground or neutral is worse than getting hit with a line I think
