Streamline your queen management with our innovative Multi-Function Queen Roller Cage. This two-in-one tool is expertly designed for both the safe capture and successful introduction of queen bees, making it an essential piece of equipment for commercial beekeepers and a standout product for beekeeping suppliers.
Innovative Design and Durable Construction
This queen cage is engineered for performance and longevity. Manufactured from a durable, semi-transparent plastic, it offers both resilience and a clear view of the queen inside. Its unique design combines two critical functions into a single, efficient tool.
Key Design Features:
- Two-in-One System: This tool consists of two main parts: a vented cage body and a combination catcher/cap. This allows a beekeeper to safely catch a queen directly off the comb and then immediately prepare her for introduction without transferring her between different tools.
- Safe "No-Touch" Catching: The cap features a wide, open tube. Simply place this opening over the queen on the comb; as she walks up into the tube, you can gently slide it off the comb and connect the cage body, securing her without ever having to touch her.
- Optimized Ventilation: The main cage body features an extensive grid of slots, ensuring excellent airflow and allowing worker bees to interact with, feed, and tend to the queen. This is crucial for dispersing her pheromones and facilitating a smooth introduction.
- Controlled Slow Release: One end of the cage body has a small, removable gate, creating a dedicated compartment for queen candy. This proven slow-release method allows the colony to accept and free the new queen at their own pace, dramatically increasing introduction success rates.
- Compact and Efficient Dimensions:
- Total Length: 65 mm
- Cage Body Length: 45 mm
- Width: 30 mm
- Depth: 10 mm The slim, "roller" profile allows the queen cage to be easily pushed into the comb or placed between frames without causing major disruption.
Applications and Key Advantages
This multi-function queen cage is designed to simplify complex beekeeping tasks and improve outcomes.
Primary Application Scenarios:
- Safe Queen Catching: Ideal for isolating the queen during inspections or for capturing a newly emerged virgin queen from a queen cell.
- Queen Introduction: The premier function of this tool. After catching the queen and adding candy, the entire unit is placed in a queenless hive for a gradual and highly successful introduction.
- Transport and Mailing: The secure and well-ventilated design makes it a reliable option for safely transporting queens.
Advantages for the Beekeeper:
- Dual-Functionality: Eliminates the need for separate catching clips and introduction cages, saving time and reducing the amount of equipment needed in the field.
- Reduces Queen Stress: The "no-touch" capture method is the gentlest way to handle a queen, minimizing risk of injury and stress.
- High Success Rate: The roller design and slow-release candy chamber are highly effective for queen acceptance.
- Durable and Reusable: Made from high-quality plastic, this queen cage can be easily cleaned and reused, offering excellent long-term value.
Value Proposition for Our B2B Partners
We provide equipment that enhances the efficiency and profitability of our professional clients.
- For Commercial Apiaries: This tool is a workflow optimizer. By combining two steps into one and increasing queen acceptance rates, it reduces labor costs, minimizes queen loss, and improves overall operational efficiency.
- For Beekeeping Distributors: Offer a modern, innovative queen cage that provides clear advantages over traditional single-purpose cages. Its unique functionality is a strong selling point that will appeal to beekeepers looking to upgrade their equipment.
