Queen Cage

A queen cage is primarily used to safely introduce a new queen bee into a colony, temporarily confine an existing queen during hive manipulations or inspections, or protect a virgin queen from aggressive worker bees until she is accepted. It helps prevent the colony from rejecting or harming a new queen.

At tudo.lk, we offer various types of queen cages, including mailing cages, introduction cages, and larger cages used for temporary confinement. These are designed to suit different beekeeping needs, ensuring you can find the right cage for successful queen management.

Typically, the new queen is placed in the cage with a few attendant bees and a candy plug. The cage is then placed inside the hive. The worker bees will chew through the candy plug over a few days, gradually releasing the queen, which allows time for the colony to get accustomed to her pheromones and accept her.
