Application
Polystyrene clear black plain Queen Cell Cups are essential tools for beekeepers engaged in queen bee grafting. These cups are specifically designed to facilitate the safe and efficient transfer of larvae during the queen rearing process. By using these cups, beekeepers can ensure that the larvae are protected from contamination and physical damage, thereby increasing the chances of successful queen cell development.
The cups are introduced into the hive 24 hours before grafting to allow the bees to condition them, which significantly enhances the acceptance rate of the grafted larvae. This pre-conditioning period is crucial for achieving a high success rate in queen rearing.
Feature
- High-Quality Material: Made from durable and non-toxic polystyrene, these cups ensure the safety and longevity of the queen rearing process.
- Safe Larva Transfer: The design of the cups allows beekeepers to move larvae securely, minimizing the risk of damage during grafting.
- Large-Sized Design: The robust construction of the cups makes them resistant to breakage and aging, even during extended use in queen bee culture.
- Aesthetic and Functional: The cups have a silky, smooth appearance with no peculiar smell, making them both beautiful and practical for beekeeping.
- Consistent Size: Each cup is crafted with precision to ensure uniformity in size, which is vital for maintaining the quality of the larvae.
Principle
The principle behind the use of polystyrene clear black plain Queen Cell Cups lies in their ability to provide a controlled and safe environment for the development of queen bee larvae. The cups are introduced into the hive 24 hours before grafting to allow the worker bees to condition them.
This conditioning process involves the bees cleaning and preparing the cups, which increases the likelihood of the grafted larvae being accepted. The clear black polystyrene material is chosen for its durability and non-toxic properties, ensuring that the larvae are not exposed to harmful substances. The absence of lugs on the cups means they are designed to be glued to a wooden bar using beeswax, providing a stable and secure platform for the larvae to develop.
Advantage
- High Acceptance Rate: These cups achieve a remarkable acceptance rate of over 90% by the bees, ensuring a high success rate in queen rearing.
- Durability: The high-quality polystyrene material ensures that the cups are long-lasting and resistant to breakage and aging.
- Ease of Use: The plain design without lugs makes it easy to glue the cups to a wooden bar, simplifying the setup process for beekeepers.
- Safety: The non-toxic and safe material ensures that the larvae are protected from harmful substances, promoting healthy development.
- Consistency: The precise craftsmanship ensures that each cup is of the same size, which is crucial for maintaining the quality and uniformity of the larvae.
