Anyone know what the weight limits are for cinder blocks to hold weight on them?

I've been very interested in this question because of seeing Youtube videos. In a lot of them the beekeepers will put horizontal boarding up over cinder blocks and then put the hives on top of those. Often may be anywhere from 4 to 10 hives of various sizes on them, and some of them are held up by support structures resting on cinder blocks or wood screwed together.

Its quite amazing that much weight is on them. But I'm not sure how much they claim they can hold up and how much is actual?

And I thought I'd research this before just putting a bunch of stuff on them.
