Reliable PartnerEasy ordering process, quality products, and dedicated support for your business success.
For beekeepers who value robust construction and proven introduction methods, we offer the Premium Wood and Steel Push-In Queen Cage. This artisan-quality tool is designed for the highly effective direct-on-comb introduction technique. Combining natural wood with the strength of steel, it is a durable, long-lasting solution for commercial apiaries and a top-tier product for beekeeping supply distributors.
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.
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.
- 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.
Advanced Applications and Key Advantages
This is a specialized tool designed for a specific, highly effective introduction method favored by experienced professionals.
Primary Application Scenarios:
- 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.
- 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.
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.
