Queen Cell Cups with Pins for Queen Rearing – Set of 30 Pieces

Make queen bee rearing and potential royal jelly production easier. Plastic queen cell cups are shaped to match the size of natural queen cells. This makes them better accepted by the colony and increases the success rate of grafted larvae acceptance. They are suitable for both beginning queen breeders and experienced beekeepers who want a quick and reusable solution.

Main Benefits for Beekeepers:

The key advantage is the integrated pin with 2 mm diameter, which replaces the laborious process of attaching cups with wax. Simply insert the cup into a pre-drilled hole in the breeding bar and you're done – ideal when preparing larger batches.

• Faster preparation: No need to make wax cups or gluing.
• Natural dimensions: Internal diameter of 9 mm and height of 10 mm correspond to queen cells.
• Secure hive box: Pin holds firmly in breeding frame bars (including rotating systems).

Usage Instructions and Tips for Higher Success Rate:

For hive box to breeding bars, we recommend drilling holes to a depth of approximately 1.8–2 mm. You can comfortably place up to 10 cups on one standard bar.

Practical tip: If you want bees to accept the plastic faster and "polish" the cups, briefly dip them in sugar solution or lightly brush with honey before first use. This covers the plastic smell and the colony usually accepts them more readily.
