Description
SCRATCHER
A scratcher or uncapping fork, is a tool used in beekeeping to remove the wax cappings from honey frames. When honey is ready for extraction, you need to uncap the cells on the honeycomb to release the honey. This process involves removing the thin layer of beeswax that seals the cells.
A scratcher typically consists of a handle with multiple tines or prongs at the end. The tines are used to gently scratch and lift the wax cappings off the honeycomb cells. By doing so, the honey is exposed and can be extracted from the frames.
