  • Pry bar tool for apiarists
    Patent number: 8328164
    Abstract: A hive tool comprises an integrally formed elongated flat bar shaft with concavely shaped sides having a “Z” shaped portion at one end of the longitudinal axis and a gradually tapered straight edge on the other end. The “Z” shape end thereof is proportioned to slide between the frames of a hive box in the bee space and engages a top bar of a frame. The portion of the “Z” shape adjacent to the shaft provides a fulcrum holding one frame in place, while simultaneously lifting the other with an end flanged plane. A thrust and throw of the lever handle is required for operation.
