Red Handle J-Hook Bee Hive Tool

The red-handle J-hook hive tool is a full-size hooked hive tool with a beveled scraper, built for prying, lifting, and cleaning in one tool. The hooked end levers tight frames up and out, the scraper edge clears propolis and burr comb, and a built-in nail puller handles loose frame nails. The bright red handle is easy to spot in the grass when you set it down.

Features

• Hooked end that levers stuck frames up
• Beveled scraper for propolis and burr comb
• Built-in nail puller
• About 10.5 in of tempered steel with a red grip

How beekeepers use it

Slip the hooked end under a frame lug or between glued boxes and lever up — the hook and notch give you leverage so a frame stuck in propolis lifts without a fight. Flip to the scraper edge to clean wax and propolis off boxes and top bars, and use the nail puller on any loose frame nails. Easy to rinse and reuse.
