Hive tools

Hive Tools - essential for accessing hive chambers & more

This tool is like the pen to Shakespeare. It is the primary utility at the apiary site when conducting internal inspections and working the hive.

One uses it to move frames around, loosen propolised frames and hive components, lift frames and open brood and super chambers to give you some examples.

Different people in the industry have different preferences when it comes to beekeeping equipment and protective clothing. Some might say, you only need a bee veil and an overall - that works. A full bee suit with a veil works well too. It depends on your wallet and your level of safety while at work with bees. Preference should always be second to safety when dealing with bees.

Our beekeeping equipment is designed by a beekeeper and is of high quality. Feel free to request products not on our list here to be made available...

Got the right tools?

Get a hive tool. There are a few types on offer out there but all do the same job. You can get a spring steel hive tool, mild steel hive tool and stainless steel hive tool. Different strokes for different folks. We use both mild steel and stainless steel hive tools. We now have spring steel hive tools in stock.

It looks like a chisel on one end and has a curved edge on the other end. Some have a notch for removing nails and easy storage. Easy to clean and maintain, a hive tool will llast you many years. They can be easily mislaid at night so ensure you keep your hive tool in a regular place in relation to the hive(s) you are working. Nothing can be worse than finishing on one hive and then moving to the next and finding you cannot recall where you left the hive tool.

They also make useful tools for removing wax moth worms, hive beetles and damaged honeycomb inside the hive. Be sure not to transfer eggs or other diseases however from one bee hive to another in this way. If you are removing bees, use the hive tool to assist you iin transferring brood to the new hive box and cut it to size.

Our full bee suits with veils accommodate the hive tool neatly in a left hand side pocket on the leg. It is a must-have item for all beekeepers.
