Detailed Description

The 7 Inch Hive Tool is a compact and versatile tool designed for everyday hive work. Beekeeping equipment often becomes sealed together with wax and propolis as bees live in the hive, making it difficult to separate boxes and remove frames without a hive tool.

This smaller hive tool is 7 inches long, making it easier to handle than larger hive tools such as the 10 1/2-inch Lifter Pro Hive Tool. Its compact size makes it especially comfortable for beekeepers with smaller hands or when performing quick inspections and lighter tasks.

Like most hive tools, it features multiple working ends. The narrow prying edge helps separate hive boxes and loosen frames, while the bent end can be used to scrape wax, burr comb, and propolis from hive equipment.

Made from stainless steel, this hive tool is durable, easy to clean, and built to withstand regular use in the apiary.
