Ensure the successful introduction and transport of your queens with our professionally designed Queen Cage. Engineered for commercial apiaries and beekeeping suppliers, this tool combines durability, functionality, and a user-friendly design to maximize requeening success rates and streamline hive management.
Superior Design and Construction
This queen cage is meticulously crafted from high-quality, durable, and non-toxic bright yellow plastic. The vibrant color ensures high visibility within the hive, making it easy to locate during inspections. Its robust construction is designed to withstand the rigors of commercial use, offering a reusable and long-lasting solution for your beekeeping needs.
Key Design Features:
- Secure Sliding Lid: The two-piece design features a main body and a smooth-sliding lid. This allows for the safe and easy placement of the queen and her attendants, while the secure fit prevents accidental escapes.
- Optimized Ventilation: Multiple grids of precisely sized ventilation slots are integrated into the lid, sides, and internal partitions. This superior airflow design is critical for:
- Allowing worker bees to feed and care for the caged queen.
- Dispersing the queen's pheromones throughout the colony for gradual acceptance.
- Maintaining a healthy environment inside the cage during transport.
- Multi-Compartment Interior: The cage is intelligently divided into separate sections. A larger main chamber provides ample space for the queen and several attendant bees, reducing stress. A dedicated end-compartment is designed to hold queen candy, facilitating a slow and natural release as the hive's worker bees chew through it.
- Practical Dimensions:
- Length: 78mm
- Width: 35mm
- Height: 13mm These standard dimensions ensure the queen cage fits perfectly between frames in Langstroth, Dadant, and other standard hive types without impeding hive structure.
- Integrated Hanging Loop: A small loop at the top allows the cage to be securely suspended between frames, ensuring it remains in the optimal position within the brood nest.
Applications and Advantages
This versatile queen cage is an essential tool for a variety of beekeeping tasks, offering significant advantages over simpler designs.
Primary Application Scenarios:
- Queen Introduction: The slow-release candy chamber is the cornerstone of its design. By allowing the colony to release the queen on their own terms, it dramatically increases the acceptance rate, which is vital for successful requeening and preventing costly queen loss.
- Queen Transportation: The secure and well-ventilated structure makes this queen cage an ideal choice for safely shipping or transporting queens and their attendants, minimizing stress and ensuring they arrive in peak condition.
- Queen Banking: Commercial operations can use these cages to temporarily hold, or "bank," multiple queens within a queenless colony until they are needed.
Advantages for the Beekeeper:
- Increased Success: The thoughtful design directly contributes to higher queen acceptance rates.
- Durability & Reusability: Made from sturdy plastic, this queen cage can be easily cleaned and reused for many seasons, offering an excellent return on investment.
- Ease of Use: The sliding lid and dedicated candy compartment make the process of caging and preparing the queen simple and efficient.
