Yes, it's an amazing extra tool, that bit of stick. Some uncapping knives even have a purposely bent end/tip to help get at the low bits of capped comb to assist in slowly digging the holes. I have a couple of them.You can use even a wooden stick, if you need.
Uncap the honey comb is not rocket science. Proplem is only, how much time it takes . It is not funny work at all.
