Designed for the modern apiarist, this Professional Queen Catcher is an essential tool for safe, efficient, and stress-free queen bee management. Its innovative design prioritizes the safety of the queen while offering the beekeeper unparalleled control and visibility. Constructed from high-quality, durable materials, this tool is built to withstand the demands of commercial beekeeping operations and is an indispensable addition to any beekeeping supply inventory.
Key Features and Design
This tool is more than just a simple queen cage; it is a precision instrument engineered for performance and durability.
- High-Visibility Construction: Made from crystal-clear, robust plastic, the entire body allows for a constant, unobstructed view of the queen. This ensures you can monitor her condition at all times during capture and transfer.
- Ergonomic Curved Body: The unique, S-curved handle is not just for aesthetics. It is ergonomically designed to provide an easy grip and excellent reach, allowing you to maneuver between frames and into tight spaces within the hive without disturbing the colony.
- Gentle Sponge Plunger: The head of the catcher features a soft, porous sponge. This mechanism allows you to gently and securely press the queen against the transparent wall of the scoop, immobilizing her without causing any harm or pressure to her abdomen. The sponge is removable for easy cleaning or replacement.
- Safe and Ventilated Containment: The long tubular handle serves as a temporary holding chamber. Once captured, the queen can be allowed to move into the tube. The end is fitted with a small, ventilated plug, ensuring the queen has adequate air while being contained.
- Durable and Easy to Clean: The smooth, non-porous plastic surface makes this queen cage easy to clean and sanitize between uses, preventing the spread of disease and ensuring hygienic hive management.
Dimensions and Specifications
The tool's dimensions are carefully calibrated for effective use with standard hive frames.
- Overall Length: 15 cm / 5.91"
- Catcher Head Width: 3 cm / 1.18"
- Sponge Pad Depth: 1.5 cm / 0.59"
- Tube Opening Diameter: 1.2 cm / 0.47"
- Materials: High-impact transparent plastic, soft foam sponge, and a porous plastic end-plug.
Applications and Benefits
This versatile tool streamlines several critical beekeeping tasks, making it a valuable asset for any operation.
Safe Queen Capturing
Effortlessly scoop the queen directly from the comb. The wide head and gentle sponge mechanism eliminate the need to handle the queen with your fingers, drastically reducing the risk of accidental injury, dropping her, or causing the colony to reject her due to foreign scents.
Stress-Free Queen Introduction and Transfer
Introducing a new queen is a delicate process. This tool allows you to place the queen directly onto a frame with minimal disturbance. Use the long handle to guide her gently into the hive, increasing the chances of a successful introduction. It's also perfect for transferring a queen from a nuc to a full-sized hive.
Efficient Hive Management
During inspections, you can quickly and safely isolate the queen in this catcher. This prevents her from being accidentally rolled or crushed while you work on the frames, saving time and protecting your colony's most valuable asset. The clear design ensures you never lose sight of her.
Value for Your Business
For Commercial Beekeepers: Time is money, and a healthy queen is the heart of your operation's productivity. This queen cage enhances your efficiency by making queen handling faster and safer. By minimizing the risk of queen loss, you protect your investment and ensure colony continuity. Its durable build guarantees a long service life, even with daily use across multiple apiaries.
For Beekeeping Supply Distributors: Offer your customers a professional-grade tool that stands out from basic alternatives. The superior design, durability, and functionality of this queen catcher make it a high-value item for beekeepers of all levels.
