The HONESTBEE No Grafting Queen Rearing Kit is a comprehensive, professional-grade system designed to streamline and enhance the process of raising high-quality queen bees and producing pure royal jelly. Engineered for the demands of commercial apiaries and beekeeping supply distributors, this kit eliminates the need for manual grafting, dramatically increasing efficiency, success rates, and overall productivity. Its durable, reusable components are designed to fit seamlessly into standard Langstroth hives, making it the ultimate tool for serious beekeeping operations.
Key Features and Advantages
- Eliminates Grafting: The innovative design allows the queen to lay eggs directly into the cell plugs, bypassing the delicate and time-consuming grafting process.
- Higher Acceptance Rate: Larvae are never handled or disturbed, leading to significantly higher acceptance by the cell-builder colony and resulting in stronger, more vigorous queens.
- Dual-Function Versatility: This single system is expertly designed for both high-yield queen rearing and the hygienic production of premium royal jelly.
- Commercial-Grade Durability: Constructed from high-quality, resilient food grade plastic, every component is built to withstand the rigors of repeated use in a commercial setting.
- Enhanced Hygiene: The system minimizes the handling of larvae and royal jelly, ensuring a cleaner, purer end product.
Components of the Queen Rearing System
This all-inclusive kit provides everything you need to begin advanced queen rearing.
Queen Rearing Frame (Wax-Coated): The heart of the system. This main frame is coated with natural beeswax to encourage rapid acceptance and comb building by the bees. Its front features a precision grid, while the back is designed to hold the Cell Bar Strips, allowing the queen to lay eggs directly into the removable cell plugs.

Queen Controller (Excluder): A perfectly molded excluder that fits securely over the Queen Rearing Frame. It effectively confines the queen, ensuring she lays eggs only in the designated cell plugs, while allowing worker bees to pass through freely to tend to the eggs and larvae.

Cell Bar Strips with Integrated Plugs: These 27 strips are the core of the no-grafting technology. Each white plastic strip holds 30 black, removable cell plugs. When placed in the Queen Rearing Frame, the queen lays eggs directly into these plugs. After the larvae hatch, the entire strip is removed, transferring the young, undisturbed larvae safely and efficiently.

- Cell Bar Strips with Wooden Support: Includes 2 specialized strips with integrated wooden supports. This adds rigidity and strength, ideal for queen rearing applications, and ensures a perfect fit within the grooves of the Cell Bar Holder Frames.

Cell Bar Holder Frames: Three sturdy, plastic frames designed to securely hold the Cell Bar Strips when they are moved into a cell-builder colony for the queen rearing phase.

- Royal Jelly Bars: These 12 white plastic bars are engineered for efficient royal jelly production. Each bar features a row of circular sockets with a precise locking mechanism that securely holds the cell plugs with a "click". When loaded with larvae-filled plugs and placed in a strong colony, these bars stimulate workers to produce and deposit large amounts of royal jelly.

Individual White Cell Cups: These versatile cups can be attached to the cell plugs for either queen rearing (providing the base for a queen cell) or for creating clean, individual portions of royal jelly.

- Individual Black Cell Plugs: Included as spare parts to ensure the longevity of your queen rearing kit.

Please Note: Queen protector cages (for protecting virgin queens after they emerge) are not included in this kit but are available for separate purchase from HONESTBEE.

Streamlined Workflow: From Egg to Queen or Royal Jelly
This versatile kit can be used for two primary purposes: raising queen bees and producing royal jelly.
Method 1: High-Success Queen Rearing
- Preparation & Comb Building: Place the wax-coated Queen Rearing Frame (with Cell Bar Strips installed) into a strong hive. The bees will draw out the comb on the surface.
- Confining the Queen: Place the Queen Controller over the frame and introduce your selected breeder queen. Confine her for approximately 24 hours, during which she will lay eggs directly into the integrated cell plugs.
- Larvae Development: Remove the queen and the controller. Return the frame to the hive for 3-4 days, allowing the eggs to hatch into young larvae.
- Transferring Larvae: Carefully remove the frame and gently detach the Cell Bar Strips, which now contain young, undisturbed larvae in their original cell base.
- Cell Building: Attach an Individual White Cell Cup to each plug on the strips you intend to use for queen rearing. Mount these completed strips onto the Cell Bar Holder Frames and place them into a strong, queenless "finisher" colony. The worker bees will feed the larvae and draw out large, healthy queen cells.
- Maturation & Harvest: Approximately 10 days after the transfer, the queen cells will be capped and ready. Carefully transfer them to mating nucs or new colonies to emerge.
Method 2: Hygienic Royal Jelly Production
- Obtain Larvae: Follow Steps 1-4 from the queen rearing instructions above to obtain strips of young, healthy larvae.
- Assemble for Royal Jelly: Attach the larvae-filled Cell Bar Strips directly to the Royal Jelly Bars. The plugs will click securely into place. Alternatively, you can use the Individual White Cell Cups. Mount the assembled bars onto the Cell Bar Holder Frames.
- Feeding Period: Place the frames into a strong, queenless colony that is primed for royal jelly production. The worker bees will fill each cup with rich royal jelly.
- Harvesting: After approximately 72 hours, remove the frames. The individual white cell cups or the Royal Jelly Bars will be filled with pure royal jelly. This method is exceptionally clean, as the jelly does not come into contact with harvesting tools until the final collection. The individual cups can be collected and stored immediately in a refrigerator, preserving their quality.
