European Hive Tool

In any apirary (bee farm) you will need a good hive tool. These are used to help separate your hive bodies and the supers from each other, making sure that you can easily separate the parts which have stuck together like glue. This is great for scraping off propolis if you need to, as well.

A hive tool acts as an all in one kind of magic wand that serves multiple purposes. It can be used to pry open a hive. It can help you segreate the hive bodies, and it cleans the frames by scraping them. A thin ended tool will be easier to use and will cause much less damage than one with a thick end.
