BIG TOOL Hive Tool: A Long Lever for Comfortable Work in the Hive
The BIG TOOL is a truly large stainless steel hive tool measuring 39 cm in length, giving you the leverage you need even when working with heavily propolised hive components. It features both a small and a large hook at the end, making it ideal not only for prying apart stuck supers but also for safer frame handling. The hive tool easily separates surfaces bonded with propolis and wax, simplifies routine hive inspections, and helps you work faster, cleaner, and without unnecessary damage to hive parts. Length: 39 cm.
Why Choose the BIG TOOL
During regular colony inspections, you will often encounter supers and frames firmly bonded together with propolis. Propolis can join wooden parts very firmly, and shorter hive tools then require more force, are harder to grip, and can press uncomfortably into your palm when prying. Thanks to its extended design, the BIG TOOL offers a significantly better leverage effect – even propolised joints can be loosened with less effort. You save your hands and back, and you also work more smoothly, so you avoid unnecessarily disturbing the colony and maintain a calmer environment inside the hive.
Stainless Steel Construction and Practical End Design
The hive tool is made from solid stainless steel, which is popular in beekeeping for its durability and easy maintenance. It is corrosion-resistant and easy to clean and disinfect (for example, by boiling or flame sterilisation). The combination of a small and a large hook extends its versatility in the hive – the hooks help with lifting and pulling out frames, while the flat edge serves as a scraper for wax and propolis.
