Nicot® Cell cups

Key Features:

• Food-grade and reusable material: Made of non-porous, food-safe plastic, these cups can be reused indefinitely and are easy to clean, withstanding temperatures up to 60°C during washing and disinfection with bleach to ensure perfect hygiene between uses.

• Compatibility: Adaptable to both the cup holder block and the cupularve system, allowing versatile integration into queen-rearing setups.

• Practical time-saver: Unlike natural wax cups, these NICOT cups eliminate preparation time and provide a durable alternative without compromising larval development quality.

Application in Queen Rearing

For queen rearing, each cup can house a larva less than one day old, making it ideal for queenless bees to develop into a future queen. Using a picking tool, a larva is transferred into the cup, which is then placed in a queenless hive. This method ensures a high success rate in larval acceptance and royal jelly production.

Perfect for Beekeepers of All Levels

Whether for beginner or experienced beekeepers, these NICOT cups offer efficiency and quality in queen rearing and royal jelly harvesting. They’re perfect for those looking to optimize their process while maintaining the precision and hygiene required in beekeeping.

Supplied individually, these NICOT cups are an essential investment to improve and simplify rearing processes in beekeeping.
