You shouldn't need to inspect this early in the season (in the majority of the UK at least). If something is wrong it's too early to fix it.
In mid-season, if it's a cold/cool day you can try inspecting quickly and with minimal disturbance, or - better still - leave it for a warmer day.
Several of my colonies didn't get checked until early/mid-May last year.
Wait for a shirt-sleeve day and enjoy. Calm, sunny and about 15 Centigrade.
I think that was June the 11th, 2012.
