How it works
The open jaws are positioned around the top bar of the hive frame. When the beekeeper squeezes the wooden handles, the jaws close and grip the frame.
The frame can then be lifted slowly from the hive for inspection. When it has been returned to the correct position, releasing the handles allows the jaws to open.
Safety information
Always grip the wooden top bar, not the honeycomb itself. Confirm that both jaws are positioned evenly before lifting. Do not lift a heavy or stuck frame using the gripper alone—loosen it first with a hive tool.
Keep fingers away from the jaws and pivot points to avoid pinching. Use slow, controlled movements to prevent dropping the frame or injuring bees.
