Five flexible-tip shift-needle grafting tools for moving 1-day-old larvae from worker comb into queen cell cups — the foundational tool for any beekeeper learning to raise their own queens.
The spring-loaded shift tip lets you scoop royal jelly and larva together in one motion, then deposit with a smooth thumb press — no damaged grafts. The 5-pack lets you keep spares on hand and color-code one needle per cell builder so you can track grafting cohorts cleanly.
Material: plastic body with stainless tip and silicone tongue. Approximate length: 6". For larva-to-cell-cup transfer only — not a substitute for a full queen-rearing setup. Care: wipe the tip clean with a dry cloth after each session; avoid solvents that can degrade the silicone tongue.
Pair with our Mini Mating Nuc Box (ACP-BEE-102) or Mid-Size Polystyrene Mating Nuc (ACP-BEE-106), Plastic Hex Queen Cell Cages (ACP-BEE-107), and the Stainless Steel Bee Smoker (ACP-BEE-105) for a complete queen-rearing workflow.
