Queen catcher clips - galvanized

Galvanized Queen Bee Catcher – Safe Clip (Clamp)

Do you need to quickly and safely secure a queen bee in the hive without unnecessary stress and risk of injury? This metal catcher in the shape of a clamp is part of the basic equipment of every beekeeper – from first inspections to targeted queen rearing. It allows you to safely hold and isolate the queen directly on the comb or on the top bars, so you can perform interventions calmly and with full control of the situation.

Safe Construction Gentle to the Queen

The catcher is designed to minimize the risk of injury. Smoothly finished edges and overlapping sides during slow closing prevent "shearing", so there is no risk of pinching legs or wings. The open cage construction with circular holes ensures sufficient air circulation and at the same time allows you to keep the queen under constant visual control throughout the handling.

Comfortable One-Hand Operation Even with Gloves

Thanks to the spring mechanism, the clip is easy to open and close with one hand, which you will appreciate when working with frames – you have the other hand free to hold the comb. The galvanized sheet metal is durable, withstands well the operation in the beekeeping environment, and the catcher can be reliably used even with thicker beekeeping gloves.

Use During Inspections, Breeding, and Marking

The catcher finds application in a wide range of common and breeding situations. During inspection, after finding the queen, you can quickly ensure her safety and continue working on the combs without fear of crushing her. It is excellent for transferring brood combs over the queen excluder, when it is not necessary to brush bees from the frame in a complicated manner. In breeding, it helps prevent unwanted escape of a young or unmated queen from the comb. It is also practical for marking – you can easily transfer the queen to the workshop and safely release her into a marking plunger or under a cover.
