Inseminator Swienty

Precision and Stability in Every Movement

The apparatus is designed to provide surgical precision in the artificial insemination process. Key components, such as the ventral and sting hooks, are operated via a joystick-type micromanipulator, which reduces movement by a 10:1 ratio, allowing the beekeeper precise control while minimizing effort. The joystick function enables the millimetric adjustment necessary when working with delicate organs like the queen's reproductive organs. Additionally, the design allows the wrists to rest on the table, providing extra stability and reducing the risk of tremors affecting accuracy.

Easy-to-Clean and Replaceable Components

The kit includes a syringe with a rubber piston and a cylinder, both easily detachable for cleaning and sterilization. The syringe’s glass tips are replaceable, facilitating maintenance and ensuring sterility between uses. The queen holder is designed for simple handling and allows the syringe to be inserted from the front, speeding up the process and avoiding interruptions.

Queen Holding and CO₂ Supply

The queen holding system is practical and effective, with a valve that supplies CO₂ to calm and immobilize the queen during insemination. This feature ensures that the queen remains in position throughout the procedure, enhancing both the queen's safety and the beekeeper’s convenience.

Additional Equipment

This kit includes:

• Syringe

• Five glass needles

• Ventral hook

• Sting hook

• Queen holder

All items are securely packaged in a durable wooden case for safe transportation. It is important to note that the stereo microscope, cold light, and CO₂ equipment must be ordered separately.

Ideal for Beekeepers and Researchers

Artificial insemination is an advanced technique for genetic improvement in bee colonies, allowing the selection of desirable traits such as disease resistance and productivity. This kit is the ideal tool for beekeepers looking to optimize their colonies and achieve rigorous control in queen selection.
