Serrated Lifter Hook: A curved, sharpened hook with a serrated inner edge is ideal for lifting frames, scraping tough propolis, and cutting through burr comb.
Frame Rest Cleaner: A row of sharp, serrated teeth is specifically designed to scrape clean the frame rests inside the hive body, ensuring frames sit properly.
Pivoting Detail Blade: A unique, user-serviceable feature—a small, sharp blade is mounted on a wing nut bolt, allowing it to pivot for cleaning frame grooves, queen excluders, or other tight spaces with precision.

Hive Tool

The Wide Scraper & Utility End (6.3 cm Width)

This end is designed for broad cleaning and specialized tasks:

Extra-Wide Scraper: The 6.3 cm beveled blade makes quick work of scraping wax and propolis from large surfaces like inner covers and bottom boards.
Frame Spacing/Cleaning Notches: A series of stepped notches on the side of the tool can be used for properly spacing frames or for scraping specific areas of equipment.
Keyhole Nail Puller: A secondary nail puller provides additional utility for various nail sizes.
