Grafting tool with magnifying glass

Practical grafting tool with magnifying glass facilitates precise handling of tiny honey bee larvae during queen rearing. It is made of stainless steel and features two working ends with different thickness and shape. The magnifying glass can be attached to either end of the tool as needed. This accessory is suitable for both beginner and experienced queen breeders.

Better visibility during grafting

Grafting requires precision, a steady hand, and a good view into the honeycomb cell. Tiny, nearly translucent larvae can be difficult to see, which is why the tool is equipped with a practical magnifying glass. The magnification makes it easier to inspect the larva when scooping it up and transferring it into a queen cell cup. More precise work helps reduce the risk of damaging the larva while also reducing eye strain.

Two working ends and easy maintenance

Two differently sized and shaped ends allow you to choose the design that best suits your grafting technique. The magnifying glass can be easily moved to the end currently in use. The stainless steel construction ensures good durability, long service life, and easy cleaning. Thorough hygiene of tools is important in queen rearing to reduce the risk of transferring contaminants and disease agents between colonies.

Practical accessory for queen rearing

Quality breeding equipment contributes to more precise grafting and successful queen rearing. A healthy queen is an important prerequisite for establishing a strong and vital colony that can better utilize the available nectar flow during the season. The harvested honey can then be safely stored in suitable jars with well-sealing lids.
