Bent Queen Catcher – Plastic Pipe

Plastic queen catcher for capturing the queen bee is a practical tool for beekeepers who want to catch the queen quickly, safely and gently directly on the comb. Compared to glass variants, the plastic version is unbreakable, lightweight and easy to clean. You can then mark, move or temporarily isolate the captured queen without unnecessary delay when working with the colony.

Gentle Capture with Control Throughout

The catcher is shaped like a bent pipe, which facilitates access to the queen even in hard-to-reach places on the frame. The transparent body allows continuous visual control and helps minimize the risk of injury or stress to the queen bee. Handling is simple and intuitive – carefully pick up the queen from the comb and temporarily close for safe execution of the next task.

Suitable for Marking and Working with Splits

The plastic pipe is suitable for routine queen marking (e.g. with opalith marker or pen), but also for more demanding interventions in the colony. It works excellently when making splits, when it is often necessary to catch the original queen for a moment and keep her under control to prevent her unintended transfer to a new hive. With this catcher, you can secure the queen in a few seconds without unnecessarily disturbing the bees.
