14 Inch Extra Long BeeKeeping Hive Tools

This extra long hive tool can free the most stubborn frames or hive bodies. We have sold these in the past to bee inspectors, who often have to tackle hives which have not been touched for a long period, but it is equally useful in general beekeeping as its length gives it great power with little effort from the beekeeper. The blade end is very sharp and is ideal for removing wax deposits if used at a very shallow angle to avoid it digging in. The “J” end is quite narrow and can be readily inserted under heavily waxed frames.

Hive tools are a must have tool for any beekeeper, They are helpful in numerous ways in and out of the bee yard, honey house and workshop.

The extra length gives you all the leverage you need when the bees have propolized hive boxes together. The double hooked end makes it a snap to break frames free and lift them out of the hive.
