Multipurpose Stainless Steel Hive Tool
The multipurpose stainless steel hive tool rolls six jobs into one: a toothed frame lever, a flat scraper, an angled scraper, a removable hammerhead, a frame cleaner, and a queen-excluder cleaner. A central wooden handle gives you grip in the middle so you can put weight behind it.
Six tools in one
- Toothed frame lever for lifting stuck frames
- Flat scraper for burr comb and propolis
- Angled scraper for corners and rabbets
- Removable hammerhead for frame nails and staples
- Frame cleaner
- Queen-excluder cleaner
How beekeepers use it
Lever frames up with the toothed end, switch to the flat or angled scraper to clean wax and propolis off boxes and rabbets, and use the excluder cleaner to clear wax bridges off a queen excluder. The wooden center gives a solid hold, and the stainless steel wipes down and stores without rusting.
Pairs well with
- Standard Hive Tool with Scraper — the simple flat tool
- J-Hook Hive Tool — a hooked frame lever for inspections
- Stainless Steel Hive Frame Grip — secure one-handed frame lifting
