Maximize queen introduction success with our high-visibility, durable Plastic Push-In Queen Cage. This tool is designed for the highly effective direct-on-comb introduction method, providing a safe and reliable way to integrate a new queen into a colony. Its robust, single-piece construction makes it a cost-effective and essential tool for commercial apiaries and a staple product for beekeeping distributors.
Functional Design and Robust Construction
Engineered for efficiency and repeated use, this queen cage is molded from high-quality, non-toxic plastic. Its simple yet intelligent design is proven to increase queen acceptance rates.
Key Design Features:
- Single-Piece Molded Construction: Made from a single piece of strong plastic, there are no parts to lose or break. This makes the tool incredibly durable, easy to clean, and reliable in the field.
- Queen-Excluder Grid Top: The top of the cage is a sturdy grid with openings large enough for worker bees to pass through but small enough to safely confine the queen. This crucial feature allows the colony to feed, groom, and acclimate to the new queen while she remains protected.
- Secure Push-In Tines: The cage is ringed with short, blunt-tipped tines designed to be easily pushed into the wax of a honeycomb. These tines securely anchor the queen cage to the frame, creating a safe enclosure for the queen directly on the comb.
- Low-Profile Dimensions:
- Diameter: 5 cm
- Height: 1.7 cm Its low profile minimizes disruption to the bee space between frames, allowing the hive to function normally while the introduction process takes place. The bright yellow color ensures it is easily visible during hive inspections.
Applications and Core Advantages
This queen cage is a specialized tool for one of the most reliable introduction methods used by beekeepers worldwide.
Primary Application Scenarios:
- Direct-on-Comb Queen Introduction: This is the tool's primary purpose. The beekeeper simply finds a suitable area on a frame (preferably with emerging brood and honey stores), places the queen on the comb, and firmly presses the cage over her. This allows her to immediately feel at home on the comb and begin laying, while the colony gradually accepts her.
- Protecting Queen Cells: The cage can also be used to protect a valuable queen cell from being destroyed by a rival queen or workers, ensuring the virgin queen can emerge safely.
Advantages for the Beekeeper:
- High Success Rates: The direct-on-comb method is renowned for achieving very high queen acceptance rates.
- Economical and Reusable: As a cost-effective alternative to metal cages, it provides excellent value. Its durable plastic construction allows for many seasons of use.
- Simple to Use: The design is intuitive and requires no complex assembly. It's a straightforward and effective solution.
