Why Choose Us
Reliable PartnerEasy ordering process, quality products, and dedicated support for your business success.
At HONESTBEE, we understand that for commercial apiaries and queen breeders, the safety and acceptance of new queens are paramount. Our comprehensive Queen Rearing Kit offers a professional, modular solution based on the renowned Nicot system. This setup is engineered to protect developing queen cells and virgin queens while ensuring seamless integration into the colony environment.
Professional Modular Design
This kit is a three-part system designed for versatility and ease of use. It transforms the delicate process of queen rearing into a standardized, manageable workflow.
1. The "Hair Roller" Protection Cage The standout feature of this Queen Rearing Kit is the transparent protection cage. Modeled after the classic "hair roller" design, it features a rigid grid structure.
- Dimensions: Standing at 7.6cm (3 inches) in height with a diameter of 2.6cm (1.02 inches), it provides ample space for a virgin queen to move freely.
- Design: The cage body is made of high-clarity, durable plastic, allowing for easy visual inspection of the queen without disturbance. The grid pattern ensures excellent ventilation and allows worker bees to feed and communicate with the queen through the mesh, facilitating rapid pheromone acceptance.
- Integrated Food Cap: The top of the cage features a hinged lid with a dedicated reservoir. This space is designed to hold queen candy or honey, ensuring the queen remains fed during banking or transport.
2. The Cell Bar Holder (Black Base) The foundation of the system is the robust black mounting socket (2.2cm x 2.6cm). This component is designed to be nailed or stapled permanently onto your wooden grafting frame bars. It acts as a stable dock for the rest of the assembly.
3. The Cell Cup Holder (Yellow Insert) The yellow holder acts as the interface between the base and the queen cell. It fits securely into the black base and holds the queen cell cup. Once the queen cell is capped, the hair roller cage slips perfectly over this yellow holder, securing the cell safely inside.
Durability and Functionality for Commercial Use
HONESTBEE has selected materials that withstand the rigors of professional beekeeping.
- Reusability: All components are made from high-quality, food-grade polypropylene and durable plastics. They are easy to clean, sterilize, and reuse season after season, making this Queen Rearing Kit a cost-effective investment for large-scale operations.
- Secure Fit: The components are engineered with precise tolerances. The friction fit between the base, holder, and cage is strong enough to prevent accidental detachment during hive inspections but smooth enough for easy disassembly by the beekeeper.
- Protection: The rigid structure of the roller cage prevents the queen cell from being destroyed by worker bees or rival queens upon hatching.
Applications and Value for the Professional Beekeeper
This system is an essential tool for:
- Queen Emergence: Protecting virgin queens immediately after hatching in an incubator or finisher colony.
- Queen Banking: Storing mated queens temporarily.
- Transport: Safely moving queens between yards.
For beekeeping equipment distributors and commercial farms, stocking this Queen Rearing Kit means providing a solution that reduces queen mortality rates. It simplifies the grafting process and standardizes the equipment used, allowing for easier training of staff and more predictable breeding schedules.
