Usage for Royal Jelly Production:

This system is ideal for beekeepers looking to maximize royal jelly production. A small amount of fresh royal jelly and a young larva (approximately 2 mm) are placed in each cup, which is then attached to a cell bar. The bar is introduced into a queenless hive to encourage nurse bees to feed the larvae with royal jelly. After three days, the royal jelly is harvested using a spatula or a specialized aspirator, ensuring a clean and efficient process.

Product Advantages:

• Efficiency in production: Designed to optimize manual or centrifuge extraction.
• Durability and quality: Non-porous plastic resistant to wear and easy to disinfect.
• Versatility: Suitable for both beginner and professional beekeepers.

Technical Recommendations:

For best results, introduce a drop of fresh royal jelly into each cup before placing the larvae. Ensure a clean environment and adhere to the recommended timing for royal jelly collection.
