Detailed Description

The Uncapping Scratcher with Wood Handle is a dependable tool for removing wax cappings from honey frames before extraction. It features stainless steel tines designed to reach into the honeycomb and lift cappings away, exposing the honey beneath each cell.

With its classic round wooden handle, the scratcher provides a secure and comfortable grip, making it easy to use whether you're harvesting from a single hive or managing a larger operation. Even when working with knives, planes, or other uncapping tools, an uncapping scratcher remains essential for accessing corners and areas that blades cannot reach.

In addition to uncapping, the scratcher can be used to open drone brood cells to inspect drone development or to observe varroa mites, helping beekeepers monitor and manage the health of their colonies.

This tool is durable, reliable, and widely used in beekeeping for its precision and versatility.
