Why Choose Us
Reliable PartnerEasy ordering process, quality products, and dedicated support for your business success.
At HONESTBEE, we recognize that the safe transport and introduction of queen cells are the final, critical steps in a successful breeding cycle. Our JZBZ Style Shipping Cell Protector is an essential component of any professional Queen Rearing Kit, specifically engineered to safeguard delicate queen cells during transit and hive installation.
Professional Design and High-Visibility Construction
This protector is designed with the practical needs of commercial beekeepers in mind. Molded from high-quality, durable plastic, it features a distinct, bright yellow/orange color. This high-visibility hue is a deliberate design choice, allowing beekeepers to instantly locate introduced cells within a mating nuc or finisher colony, even in low-light conditions.
Key Dimensions:
- Total Length: 3.7 cm (1.46 inches)
- Top Diameter: 1.4 cm (0.55 inches) – perfectly sized to accept standard JZBZ style cell cups.
- Grid Body Length: Approx. 2.0 cm
- Base Flange Width: 3.1 cm (1.22 inches)
Advanced Functionality for Secure Transport
The unique geometry of this protector sets it apart from standard cages.
1. The "Candy Cap" Feature The bottom of the protector features a specialized hollow extension. This reservoir is designed to be filled with queen candy. When introducing a mature cell into a new colony, this candy plug acts as a timed-release mechanism. It delays the worker bees' access to the emerging queen, giving the hive time to accept her pheromones before she fully emerges, significantly increasing acceptance rates.
2. Hanging Bar Flanges Unlike push-in models, this protector features wide, flat side wings (flanges). These are designed to suspend the cell between the top bars of frames. This allows beekeepers to hang queen cells securely without damaging the comb structure, making it ideal for use in incubator frames or for shipping boxes where cells hang vertically.
3. Protective Ventilation Grid The body of the protector utilizes a rigid open-grid design. This mesh structure provides a physical barrier against physical damage (bumping during shipping) and aggressive bees, while allowing maximum airflow to the developing queen.
Durability and Value for Commercial Operations
For large-scale queen breeders and distributors, reliability is key.
- Impact Resistance: The sturdy plastic construction prevents crushing, ensuring that valuable genetic stock arrives at its destination intact.
- Reusability: These protectors are easy to clean and sanitize, making them a reusable asset for multiple seasons.
- Versatility: Whether used for shipping cells to customers or introducing them into your own mating yards, this tool integrates seamlessly into any standard Queen Rearing Kit workflow.
