Abstract: A beehive frame scraping tool that includes a head portion having a first cutaway section disposed upon a first side edge, a second cutaway section disposed upon a second side edge, a top side edge disposed endwise perpendicularly between the first side edge and the second side edge, wherein the first cutaway section includes a rectangular section cut away from the first side edge and the second cutaway section includes a generally triangular section cut away from the second side edge, wherein the first side edge is usable to scrape a frame along at least two perpendicularly adjacent surfaces, the second side edge is useable to clip foundation wire, pry and remove nails from said frame, a point edge is usable to scrape a foundation groove in a frame, and a square edge is usable to scrape a wedge slot of a frame, whereby honeycomb is more expediently harvested.
Abstract: A device for lifting and moving beehive boxes has two legs hinged at their upper ends to form a triangular structure having a suspension joint at its apex. A chain is hooked to the apex of the triangular structure, and a gripper is suspended to the chain. Lower ends of the two legs are connected by a rope which prevents them from moving apart and facilitates in adjusting the distance between them. To move an upper box of the beehive, the two legs are spread apart and pressed against the ground, the structure is tilted toward the beehive so that the gripper engages the hand recesses on two opposite side walls of the upper box, and then the structure is tilted away from the beehive, such that the box is initially slightly lifted above the lower box of the beehive and then is moved towards the desired position away from the beehive.
