Queen-cell cup, 200 pcs

Lyson Queen-cell cups are specialized beekeeping tools designed for queen rearing, a critical aspect of beekeeping that involves breeding queen bees. These cups are part of the equipment used to support the process of queen breeding, which is essential for maintaining and expanding bee colonies. The use of queen-cell cups is integral to modern beekeeping practices, especially for beekeepers focused on breeding high-quality queen bees for their apiaries or for sale.

Uses

The primary use of Lyson Queen-cell cups is in the queen rearing process. They serve as artificial cells where queen larvae are placed to develop into queen bees. The process typically involves the following steps:

1. Grafting: Young bee larvae are transferred from their original cells into the queen-cell cups.
2. Incubation: The cups, now containing the larvae, are placed back into a hive or a special rearing box, where worker bees feed and care for the developing queens.
3. Capping and Sealing: Worker bees will eventually cap the cell, and the larva will continue its development into a pupa and then into a queen bee.
