Bee Hive Tool Scraper Beekeeper Equipment Polished Stainless Steel Silver What satisfied customers are saying about this product ~ Perfect hive tool! This hive tool has worked very well for the past year. The shiny stainless steel finish shows up well when I misplace the tool so I haven’t lost this one yet. The built in mini crow bar is a real benefit that many hive tools don’t have. I no longer need my frame gripper since purchasing this hive tool. ~ This Hive tool has all the different configurations you would need. The best part is the wedge to open the hives is a lot longer and slimmer than most tools. Therefore it minimizes the “pop” noise that the bees hate so much. ~ This is my families favorite hive tool. This hive tool does everything I used to have to carry around multiple different hive tools to accomplish. Now I get everything I need in one tool. Very sturdy. None of these tools have ever broken, bent or chipped. I clean my tools with a torch between visits and the heat has had no negative effect. I have no complaints! ~ Even if the extra scraper on the hook end is something that you never use, that end is wider for it, giving this tool extra width. This means less pocketing the hive tool as you can more easily keep it in your hand through the entire inspection. The additional scraper also makes for an easier draw, which is a convenience you will miss the moment you pull out a standard hive tool. All hive tools should be shaped like this.

The hive tool should be kept clean and free from honey at all times, especially when you are inspecting a number of hives. This will help curb the transmission of common bee diseases such as American foulbrood and European foulbrood. “Must have” tool for beekeepersMade of stainless steel material, will not bend easily.
