Past the hive tool and smoker sit the smaller beekeeping tools that make each job quicker and cleaner, from inspection to extraction. At the hive, a stainless steel frame gripper lifts a frame one-handed while your other hand keeps hold of the hive tool, with wooden comfort handles or an all-steel grip. A heavy canvas manipulation cloth keeps the frames you are not working on covered, so fewer bees fly up. Heavy supers are easier with the Hive & Super Lifter, worked by two people and made to fit 8F and 10F timber hives plus Apimaye 7F and 10F.
Other beekeeping tools here earn their keep in the shed. Once old foundation is removed, a frame groove cleaner readies the frame for new wax or plastic beehive foundation, and the stainless wire crimper tensions and crimps frame wire in one movement. Pick an excluder cleaner to suit your excluder: the stainless model is made for clearing wax and propolis from stainless steel queen excluders, while the lower-cost cleaner shifts burr comb without bending wires.
At harvest, an uncapping fork reaches the low spots a knife misses. A bucket rest, in plastic or galvanised steel, holds a 10L or 15L pail so the last honey drains while you get on with something else, and a bucket spatula scrapes the corners of pails from our honey buckets and storage range.

Used to drain the last drop of honey.
10L, 15L & 22L Pails not included.
