Put the bucket into hot water. 50 C.

Builders merchant, I've just spotted something not dissimilar in the screwfix catalogue in the hand tools section called a bucket trowel believe it or not.

I agree the old ones are the best but this one is far superior to your red one.

Beekeeping cost? £0.00

Like to see you trying to dig out a load of cappings and solidifed honey leavings from a bucket with that.

I usually store all my cappings in 30lb honey buckets to process in the winter when I have some free time so by the time I get around to washing and rendering them it's a solid or congealed mass - been using a stainless steel gardener's hand trowel to scoop it out for years.
