Hive
There are several options for beekeeping tools and equipment that the beekeeper can choose from. To the novice or novice beekeeper, the number of options available may seem daunting and the simplest option is to simply purchase a complete beginner's kit, but this one doesn't necessarily include the best equipment and with a little bit of information you should be able to to choose the tool. and bee equipment the first time.
Hive tools basically serve three main purposes. When choosing your Hive tool, these should be considered. First slide between the different heights of your beehives and carefully separate them, breaking the propolis that the bees used to glue them together. They are also used to separate the frames from the beehive and lift them slightly so that the frames can be removed for inspection. Finally, they can be used to scrape propolis, wax, or other bee products from your hives and frames to keep them clean during inspections or when cleaning up at the end of the season. There are many other uses for beehive tools in the apiary, from cleaning queen cells to entering a wooden beehive to see if any parts have rotted, but they're pretty general and don't really affect the size. Design or choice of tool.
Basically, there are two types of beehive tool options offered by most vendors, the standard beehive tool and the J type beehive tool. Some beekeepers may have other unusual beehive tools than they do. - self-created or inherited, and they will invariably claim that their tools are better than the ones available; To use any of these rarities, you usually have to make them yourself or buy them from a supplier. Retired beekeeper. While Standard Tools and J-Tools are all similar, there are subtle differences between each manufacturer that make some more useful than others. The standard beehive tool is a piece of flat metal bent 90 degrees at one end to make a short section of bead about 20mm in length, with both ends tapering to an edge thin like a paint scraper. A J-tool is a similar flat piece of metal with one end pointed like a paint scraper and the other J-shaped.
The long, pointed ends of the "paint scraper" of both tools are used to slide smoothly between the risers of the beehive until they can be removed from the inner frames to separate the risers. If the beehive is properly attached, it may require prying from multiple sides to completely break the seal. When separating the boxes, you need to lift the frames, not the beehive bodies, as these can be damaged and are significantly more expensive to replace than the frames. The design of this element of the beehive tool is widely used by manufacturers and from that point of view, there is little choice between the two tool options.
To separate the frames, the folded end of the standard tool is placed between adjacent frames and then rotated to lift one image up against the next. Once both ends are free, the frame can be removed for inspection. The J-tool should have a larger square cross-section at the end of the paint scraper (not a progressive cone like the standard tool). It is placed between the frames and rotated to separate the frames. Tool J's design varies and some designs do not include this square end section. Hence, they are not that useful and should therefore not be bought.
