Details of Beehive cleaning shovel

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

It scrapes and collects in the same movement

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

The foam comes off before bottling

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

Why stainless and not something else

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.

04 · BEFORE YOU BUY

It is a tool for scraping and collecting, not for forcing:

✓ FITS	Hive floors and walls, frames, buckets and settling tanks.
✕ DOESN'T FIT	Levering: it is not a hive tool, and the wide blade bends.
