Hive Tool

This hive tool is Made in the U.S.A. of high quality spring steel to give a lifetime of use. It has one tapered flat end for prying and removing frames, and one curved end for scraping. The whole in the middle allows you to hang it on a nail or hook in your honey shed. It is 9 1/2 inches long with a 7/8 inch hook end.  The short end is used to twist the frames apart, and the long end can then be used to pry the loosened frame out of the hive for you to grab it. While there are certainly more expensive hive tools on the market, we like this one because it causes less damage to the hive's wooden ware.
