| Frame Lifter & Scraper If you've ever tried to pry a heavy or propolized frame loose with just a hive tool, damaging the frame ears and making the whole job frustrating and difficult, you know why this great hive tool is indispensable. This specially-designed, stainless-steel tool is perfect for lifting frames and for scraping wax, propolis, and other debris. | |
| Stainless Steel Smoker with Burn Guard This premium-quality stainless steel beehive smoker is the best choice for hours of reliable, consistent smoke in the apiary. This smoker lights easily and stays lit longer. Includes a burn guard and replaceable bellows. | |
