Hive Tool
A Hive Tool is a versatile hand tool used primarily in beekeeping. It helps beekeepers manage their hives by allowing them to pry apart frames, scrape off excess wax, and remove propolis. The tool typically features a flat end for scraping and a curved end for lifting frames, making it essential for hive inspections and maintenance.
Using a hive tool can improve efficiency and safety during hive management. By facilitating easier access to the hive, beekeepers can monitor the health of their bee colonies, such as honey bees, and ensure they have adequate resources. Proper use of the hive tool contributes to successful beekeeping practices.
