Red Handle J-Hook Bee Hive Tool
$9.95
The red-handle J-hook hive tool is a full-size hooked hive tool with a beveled scraper, built for prying, lifting, and cleaning in one tool. The hooked end levers tight frames up and out, the scraper edge clears propolis and burr comb, and a built-in nail puller handles loose frame nails. The bright red handle is easy to spot in the grass when you set it down.

How beekeepers use it
Slip the hooked end under a frame lug or between glued boxes and lever up — the hook and notch give you leverage so a frame stuck in propolis lifts without a fight. Flip to the scraper edge to clean wax and propolis off boxes and top bars, and use the nail puller on any loose frame nails. Easy to rinse and reuse.
