Six hexagonal plastic cages for protecting emerging virgin queens inside a cell builder or queenless finisher colony — sized for standard royal-jelly cell cups.
The hex shape clips between two frames without crushing brood. The needle-style closure pin keeps workers from chewing through and killing the queen before she emerges. Color-code your cages (this multipack ships in assorted colors) by graft date so you can pull cages on the right emergence day without checking notes.
Material: plastic body with stainless steel closure pin. Approximate cage dimensions: 4" x 2" x 2". Care: rinse with warm water between uses; replace closure pins if bent.
Pair with the Queen-Rearing Grafting Tool (ACP-BEE-103) for cell production, the Mini Mating Nuc (ACP-BEE-102) or Mid-Size Mating Nuc (ACP-BEE-106) for housing your mated queens, and the Stainless Steel Bee Smoker (ACP-BEE-105) for hive checks — a complete queen-rearing toolkit.
