How to make a beehive frame grip and hive tool

The beehive frame grip is a useful tool for the beekeeper. It allows removing frames from the hive with one hand only, leaving the other hand free. Usually frames are glued to the hive or to each other with propolis. Propolis is a resinous substance that makes the loosening and removal of frames difficult. A hive tool is used to make loosening and removing frames from the hive easier. In addition, the hive tool can be used to scrape propolis from the frames and the inside of the hive.
