Queen Rearing Equipment

Home/Store/Beekeeping Accessories & Equipment/Queen Rearing Equipment

To rear queens, you will need specific equipment and supplies tailored to support the queen rearing process – we have essential Queen rearing equipment here at Lyson Australia. Some essential equipment include queen catchers, queen bee markers, one-handed queen catchers, queen cell protectors, queen cell cups and slats, and queen isolation/introduction cages.

The key steps involved in different queen rearing methods are as follows:

  • No-Graft Systems: In this method, the queen is given artificial cups in which to lay her eggs. Once the eggs are laid in the cups, the cups are moved to a new location. After the initial steps, queenless colonies are used to begin the process of queen cell building, and queenright colonies are used to finish the process
  • Grafting Systems: This method involves the beekeeper removing newly hatched larvae from the brood comb to prepared queen cups using grafting tools. After the initial steps, queenless colonies are used to begin the process of queen cell building, and queenright colonies are used to finish the process
  • Queenright Method:
    In this method, a queenright colony is used to begin the process of queen cell building, and queenless colonies are used to finish the process. After the queen cells are capped but before they hatch, they are removed from the queenright hive and transferred to mating nucs or queen banks.

These methods involve specific steps tailored to the chosen approach, and they all aim to ensure the successful rearing of queen bees.

The best practices for all queen rearing methods involve ensuring the health of the colonies, selecting strong and well-fed nurse bees capable of producing an ample amount of royal jelly, and adhering to specific rules for rearing good queens regardless of the method used

The equipment used for breeding queen bees, also known as queen rearing, includes a variety of tools and supplies designed to support the process.

These tools are used to catch, identify, protect, and handle queen bees during the queen breeding process. Additionally, other supplies such as grafting and marking tools, nuc boxes for mating, and books on queen rearing are also available to aid beekeepers in raising healthy queens.
