Only a half dozen a year? We sometimes misplace that many a week!
I also use the standard hive tool for EVERYTHING! But I use it reversed
from most beeks, generally using the curved end for spreading frames, as I
like to use the cam action of the curve for leverage and smoothness (little
popping as the propolis breaks). Therefore, I like tools with a shorter
"hook."
