This is the mac daddy of all hive tools and just doesn't play.
At a full 15 1/2 - inches, this is the longest hive tool we have and is very popular with those with top bar hives, specifically Kenyan Top Bar Hives. It features a double j-hook on either side to give you flexibility on lifting frames and the other end is the standard hive tool point.
The Italian Hive Tool is a longer-style hive tool. Made of tempered steel, this hive tool will provide you with the leverage you need to pry your boxes apart.
I am really enjoying the new long hive tool, it is so much easier to handle than my old short one, as a newbie I make enough blunders without dropping stuff and upsetting the girls.
Thank you, Jay! It's great to know it's making your beekeeping experience smoother. Here's to many more successful hive inspections!
