Queen Cage

Professional Queen Bee Introduction & Mailing Cage

Ensure high acceptance rates and stress-free transport for your valuable queen bees with this durable, purpose-built queen cage. Designed for safe introductions, re-queening, and transport, it protects the queen from hostile workers while allowing colony pheromone exchange.

Material: Non-toxic, food-safe polypropylene (or solid wood with fine wire mesh) that prevents damage to delicate queen legs and wings.

Ventilation & Airflow: Multi-directional side slots provide maximum air circulation and allow attendant bees to feed and groom the queen safely through the barrier.

Candy Tube & Release Compartment: Built-in candy chamber allows slow, natural release via sugar candy plug (queen candy), giving the hive sufficient time to accept her scent before she emerges.

Hanging & Mounting Design: Features an integrated hanging hook or thin side slots to easily position the cage between brood frames without crushing adjacent comb.

Versatility: Suitable for queen mailing/shipping, mating nuc transfers, artificial swarm management, and routine hive re-queening.

Usage: Essential tool for queen breeders, commercial honey producers, and backyard beekeepers replacing or introducing a new queen.
