Why Choose Us
Reliable PartnerEasy ordering process, quality products, and dedicated support for your business success.
At HONESTBEE, we specialize in providing robust, high-performance beekeeping equipment for commercial apiaries and distributors. Our Professional Multi-Functional Queen Cage is expertly engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern beekeeping, focusing on queen safety, successful introductions, and operational efficiency. This versatile queen cage is an indispensable tool for any serious beekeeping operation.
Superior Design and Construction
This Queen Cage is meticulously designed for maximum functionality and durability. Crafted from high-quality, semi-transparent, non-toxic plastic, it allows for easy inspection of the queen and attendants without causing disturbance. Its robust construction ensures it can be reused across multiple seasons, providing excellent long-term value.
Key Design Elements:
- Multi-Compartment Layout: The cage features three distinct sections. A large central chamber provides ample space for the queen, while two end compartments are designed for attendant bees and a candy plug. This separation is crucial for a controlled, slow-release introduction.
- Optimized Ventilation System: The cage incorporates multiple ventilation points. The main body features a queen excluder-sized grid, which allows worker bees from the host colony to feed and tend to the queen while preventing her from escaping. Additional vertical slots on the sides ensure excellent airflow and pheromone distribution, which is critical for colony acceptance.
- Secure Sliding Gate: A removable sliding gate provides easy and secure access for placing or releasing the queen. The gate itself has openings, allowing for different configurations during introduction or banking.
- Integrated Mounting Features: The cage includes small tabs on the sides for securely lodging it between frames, and a durable loop on one end for easy handling or suspension within the hive.
Dimensions and Specifications
The thoughtful design is reflected in its practical dimensions, ensuring a perfect fit within standard hive configurations.

Advantages and Applications
The professional design of this Queen Cage makes it a superior choice for several critical beekeeping tasks.
- Safe Queen Introduction: The slow-release mechanism, facilitated by the candy compartment, allows the colony to gradually acclimate to the new queen's pheromones. The queen excluder grid enables direct contact with worker bees, significantly increasing acceptance rates and reducing the risk of queen rejection.
- Secure Transportation: The cage's durable build and secure locking gate make it ideal for safely transporting queens and a few attendants, whether from a breeder or between your own apiaries. The ventilation system prevents overheating and stress during transit.
- Queen Banking: For commercial operations, this queen cage is an effective tool for banking multiple queens within a queenless colony, keeping them ready for use when needed.
