Harvest Lane Honey TOOL-103 J-hook Hive Tool

Product Description

The HARVEST LANE HONEY TOOL-103 is a J-hook style hive tool designed for beekeepers who need reliable access to hive frames without damaging comb or equipment. One end features a J-hook profile that slides under frames to lift them from the bottom, reducing stress on the frames and the comb attached. The opposite end is double-bladed with sharp edges on both sides, built for cutting through propolis deposits and prying frames apart where propolis buildup makes separation difficult. Weighing 10.4 pounds per case pack of 24 units, this tool is suited for professional apiarists and hobbyist beekeepers alike.

This hive tool is used during routine hive inspections, splits, and swarm management. It fits standard Langstroth hive configurations where frames are set close together and propolis bonding between frames and boxes is common. The bottom-lift design is particularly useful when inspecting deep brood boxes where top-prying risks tearing comb or injuring the queen. Beekeepers working multiple hives benefit from the dual-function design, which reduces the need to carry separate tools during inspections.

Installation Notes
