Inspecting in stages?

[mhorowit]

Is there any reason I can't inspect the TBH in stages? With removing comb attached to the side, and cutting cross comb, and getting testy because of the humidity, I'd like to take a break as I go thru the hive. I'm sure the bees would appreciate it also.

I'm thinking when I come to a stopping point, cover the opening with a piece of plywood and come back after a cool drink.

Thoughts? - Mike
