Q: How do I clean and maintain this beekeeping tool?

A: After each use, rinse the roller thoroughly with warm water to remove honey and wax residue. The stainless steel needles are rust-resistant and will not corrode with regular rinsing. Allow the tool to air dry completely before storing to keep it in top condition for many seasons of use.
