Not in my first youth so I use a small slim hive tool and often find I'm stung on the inside of my hand where my fingers curl round the tool when lifting the frames. Well the other hand gets stung too in the same place, (finger next to little finger) holding the other end of the frame.
Any hints as to how I can do better or adapt to avoid the pain, 4th hive got me with me with 3 stings at the same time as bees crawl into the space and find they are being pressed as the digits move.
I use marigold gloves by the way.
