Small Turkish Hive Tool
The Turkish hive tool is a compact, hooked hive tool for beekeepers who want precision in tight spaces. The notched hook works as a lever to lift frames wedged in with propolis, the slim profile reaches into corners a bulkier tool can't, and a built-in nail puller adds a second job to a small tool.
Features
- Hooked end that levers tight frames up and out
- Multi-notched hook for flexible frame lifting
- Built-in nail puller
- Slim tempered-steel bar, about 10 in long
How beekeepers use it
Slip the hooked end under a frame lug or between glued boxes and lever up — the notches give you a grip point so a frame stuck in propolis comes loose without a fight. The narrow head reaches the nooks a wide standard tool skips, and the nail puller handles the odd loose frame nail or staple. Easy to rinse and reuse.
