Double wooden queen introduction cage

Double wooden queen introduction cage

Classical beehive double attachment cage. A wooden cage is intended for the queen when applying the method of temporarily leaving the old queen in the beehive. The standard double cage is enriched with two circular holes that are covered with wire mesh. Both parts of the cage are separated by plastic foil. From the side are the attachment cages designed to hold the queen, with the old queen beehive being inserted into one part of the cage and the other part for the new queen. As a rule, the queen bee cares after one day and removes the cage dividing the cage. This creates more room for the queen, leaving the old queen in the cage. So the new Queen will be better accepted by the beehive.

Queen exchange in the colonies begins by removing the old queen, followed by the addition of a new queen. The honeybee laborers where you want to embed a new mother will initially try to kill the new queen because they will treat her as a strange bee. The adoption of a new bee queen then depends on the proportions in the beehive. Younger queen bees receive more willingly than elder bees. Smaller groups of queen bees also receive better than larger groups. The queen accepts her queen better when she is just as old. The colony reluctantly accepts her mother during the robbery period, but she willingly accepts her at the time of the snatch. Beekeepers are usually scheduled to exchange queen for a period of frogs, that is, spring or autumn. Workers will not accept a new queen if the old queen is present in the beehive, so it is necessary first to remove the old queen. If they are in a colonnade, they must be properly inspected for removal because they could run out of a new queen. The addition cage is therefore a standard tool when adding a queen. The holes in the cage can be sealed with honey dough.

A queen with a queen is most often placed on the upper meadow of the fetal bosom. But you need to make sure that bees have a good access to the queen, so they can move around the key. The honey bees roam the honey and bring the queen out of the cage. This process typically takes two to three days. During that time, bees are preparing to receive a new queen. Once the queen arrives in the beehive, a foreign smell comes out of the cage and the bees respond to the cage as they react to a foreign queen. They begin to create a clutch around the stick. This is manifested by the fact that they bang into the net of the cage and turn their asses in the kelp as if they want to score it. At first, the bees are kneaded into a sturdy spoon, so it is difficult to tear them off the cage. Gradually, however, the blister dissolves.
