This high-quality stainless steel beehive cleaning shovel, measuring 205 mm in length and 80 mm in width, is designed not only to facilitate hive cleaning and maintenance but also to remove the layer of impurities and foam that forms on the surface of honey during the decanting process in buckets and tanks. Ideal for removing debris from the bottom of hives, scraping wax residues and propolis from frames, and perfecting honey's finish, this shovel is a versatile tool in both the apiary and the extraction room.
Everything you scrape off a hive floor has to go somewhere. With a flat blade, it goes back to the floor.
Stainless steel scoop with both sides turned up and a wooden handle. It measures 205 × 80 mm and works in two places: the hive floor and the top of the settling tank.
01 · THE TWO WINGS
The blade is not flat: it has both sides turned up, so what you lift — wax, propolis, dead bees — comes out in the same movement instead of dropping back onto the floor.
The neck is cranked: the handle sits above the blade, so you can work flush with the floor without grazing your knuckles.
02 · IN THE SETTLING TANK
After extraction the honey settles for a few days and the fine wax, the bubbles and the impurities rise to the surface. That layer comes off with one wide pass, and the turned-up sides stop it slipping back in.
Do it while the honey is still warm: it is what separates a clean jar from one with a white scum at the neck.
03 · THE STEEL
It alternates between propolis and honey, and both are hard on metal: stainless steel does not pit in the damp of a settling tank and washes off with hot water.
