Product Overview
JZs BZs plastic queen cage. Fits between frames like a queen cage should and lighter weight for shipping. We prefer the small opening as it protects the queen's feet better. (The opening size refers the the holes in the mesh sides)
The candy tube and plug are integral to the cage so there are no parts to loose or misplace.
The Advantages of this cage are:
- Thinner, fits between the frames like a queen cage should
- Lighter, doesn’t cost as much to ship
- Minimum preparation time
- Large hiding area for the queen to hide in when the outside environment is hostile
- Inner Hour glass shape on the candy tube to better retain the candy
- No fumbling for the cork, the little lid is right there, when you need it.
- A breakout bar in the bottom which, when broken out leaves a queen excluder sized opening which the bees may enter but the queen can’t get out.
- Allows more gradual queen acquaintance. A pheromone is added to the material of this cage for the purpose of masking the queen odor for improved acceptance.
