Queen Cage

Superior Craftsmanship and Functional Design

Meticulously crafted for performance and longevity, this queen cage provides a secure and natural environment for queen introduction, ensuring the highest possible rates of success.

Queen Cage

Key Design Features:

  • Hybrid Wood and Steel Construction: The cage features a precision-cut wooden top paired with a ring of high-grade steel tines. This combination offers a professional aesthetic and exceptional durability for years of reliable service.
  • Slotted Top for Optimal Interaction: The wooden cap is laser-cut with parallel slots. This design is critical for allowing worker bees to pass through to feed, groom, and interact with the new queen, facilitating the rapid spread of her pheromones and promoting colony acceptance.

Queen Cage

  • Long Steel Tines for Secure Placement: The cage is equipped with long, sharp steel tines designed to be pushed deep into the honeycomb. This provides an exceptionally secure hold, ensuring the queen cage will not become dislodged during inspections.
  • Spacious and Protective Dimensions:
    • Diameter: 50 mm
    • Height: 37 mm This generous size provides ample space for the queen to move freely on the comb and allows the cage to cover a patch of emerging brood and honey stores, which further aids in her acceptance.

Queen Cage

Advanced Applications and Key Advantages

This is a specialized tool designed for a specific, highly effective introduction method favored by experienced professionals.

Queen Cage

Primary Application Scenarios:

  1. High-Success Queen Introduction: This is the tool's primary function. The beekeeper places the queen on an ideal patch of comb and presses the cage firmly over her. This allows her to begin behaving naturally on the comb while the colony gradually accepts her presence, leading to industry-leading success rates.
  2. Protecting Valuable Queen Cells: The cage can be used to isolate and protect a valuable queen cell, ensuring the virgin queen can emerge without being harmed by a rival queen or workers.

Queen Cage

Advantages for the Beekeeper:

  • Maximizes Acceptance Rates: The direct-on-comb method is one of the most reliable ways to introduce a new queen.
  • Exceptional Durability: This is a long-term investment. Unlike plastic alternatives, this wood and steel queen cage is built to withstand the rigors of commercial use for many seasons.
  • Promotes Queen Health: The spacious design allows the queen to walk on comb and be fully tended to, minimizing stress and promoting her well-being.

FAQ

What Is A Queen Cage Used For?

A queen cage is a small container designed to hold and transport the queen bee along with a few attendant worker bees. It is primarily used when the queen is being moved from one location to another, ensuring her safety and proper introduction into a new hive.

What Are The Main Features Of A Plastic Queen Cage?

Plastic queen cages typically have grid openings to allow the queen and worker bees to be fed honey and water during transit. They also include a small round opening for adding or subtracting bees, a hinged top for direct release of the queen, and a tube for adding sugar candy or marshmallows to allow worker bees to release the queen.

How Does A Queen Cage Work?

A queen cage works by securely containing the queen bee and a few attendant worker bees during transport. It provides ventilation and sometimes includes a mechanism, such as sugar candy or marshmallows, that allows worker bees to gradually release the queen once she is introduced to a new hive. This helps ensure a smooth transition and acceptance by the new colony.

What Are The Advantages Of Using A Queen Cage?

Using a queen cage offers several advantages, including a high acceptance rate for the queen when introduced to a new hive. It allows the queen to be transported safely and introduced with her own brood and eggs, along with her own nurse bees, creating a familiar and supportive environment. Additionally, it simplifies the process of queen introduction and reduces the risk of rejection by the colony.

What Types Of Queen Cages Are Available?

There are various types of queen cages available, including plastic queen cages with grid openings, push-in queen marking cages, and handheld queen marking cages. Each type is designed for specific purposes, such as transport, marking, or introduction, and offers features like ventilation, ease of use, and precise handling.
