Sure Grip Uncapping Fork

Ideal for a beginner beekeeper or as a spare tool, the sure grip uncapping fork is designed for light use, reaching areas an uncapping plane or knife can't reach, and scratching/lifting off wax during the uncapping process. Note: Colors may vary Looking for an uncapper with a built in fork and a guide to ensure even depth across the comb? Try our pull uncapper with scratcher If you use an uncapping fork as your sole tool for uncapping, by scratching all cappings open but not removing the cappings, the honey will be released during extraction, but you will have much less cappings to deal with later. Aside from scratching or lifting off wax, we have found another valuable use for uncapping forks - checking drone brood for Varroa destructor mites. Simply move the fork parallel to the comb and you can easily lift out the white drone larvae and see the mites.
