Ensure the highest success rates for queen introduction with our Professional Round Push-In Queen Cage. This tool is specifically designed for the direct-on-comb introduction method, a technique favored by experienced beekeepers for its reliability. Built for durability and repeated use, it is an essential piece of equipment for commercial apiaries and a high-value item for beekeeping supply distributors.
Robust Design and Superior Functionality
This queen cage is engineered with premium materials to provide a safe, secure, and effective environment for introducing a new queen directly into the heart of the colony.
Key Design Features:
- High-Grade Stainless Steel Tines: The cage features a ring of long, sharp stainless steel tines. These are designed to be pushed firmly into the honeycomb, securing the cage and creating a safe enclosure for the queen directly on the frame's surface. The steel is durable, rust-resistant, and easy to clean and sanitize.
- Durable Plastic Cap: The solid top cap, available in high-visibility yellow or neutral white, provides a secure grip for the beekeeper and protects the queen from above. Its sturdy construction ensures it will not crack or break under normal use.
- Optimal Tine Spacing: The tines are precision-spaced to be narrow enough to confine the queen securely, yet wide enough to allow worker bees to pass through freely. This is a critical feature that enables the colony to feed, groom, and acclimate to the new queen's pheromones.
- Functional Dimensions:
- Diameter: 5 cm
- Height: 4 cm This generous size provides the queen with ample space to move around on the comb and allows the cage to cover a patch of emerging brood, honey, and pollen.
Applications and Unrivaled Advantages
This push-in queen cage is a specialized tool used for one of the most effective queen introduction methods available.
Primary Application Scenarios:
- Direct-on-Comb Queen Introduction: This is the cage's main purpose. The beekeeper places the queen on a suitable patch of comb (ideally with emerging brood and food stores) and presses the cage over her. The newly emerging brood will immediately accept her as their queen, and their acceptance will spread rapidly through the colony.
- Protecting Queen Cells: The cage can also be pushed into the comb over a valuable queen cell to protect it from being destroyed by a rival queen or workers before it can emerge.
Advantages for the Beekeeper:
- Extremely High Acceptance Rates: The direct introduction method allows the queen to begin laying eggs almost immediately and exposes the colony to her pheromones in the most natural way possible, leading to superior acceptance.
- Reduced Queen Stress: Unlike small introduction cages, this method allows the queen to walk on comb and be fully tended to by worker bees, significantly reducing her stress.
- Built for Longevity: The combination of stainless steel and durable plastic makes this a reusable, long-lasting tool that offers an excellent return on investment.
Value Proposition for Our B2B Partners

- For Beekeeping Distributors: Add a premium, highly effective queen introduction tool to your catalog. This product appeals to serious, experienced beekeepers and those looking for the most reliable methods.
