Queen cell protector CNE8

Main Features:

• Full Protection: Its specialized design blocks bee access to the sides of the cell, a common attack area, preserving the queen cell until hatching or queen introduction.

• Wide Compatibility: Perfect for queenless colonies, nuclei, and for use with the Nicot bloc portacúpulas (CNE2/100) and cúpula (CNE3). Place the queen cell ready for hatching between two frames for a secure and controlled introduction.

• Single Operation Queen Replacement: Allows for the replacement of queens in established colonies without immediately removing the old queen, with approximately 50% success rate in queens one year old, depending on the season, minimizing unnecessary risks in the process.

• Transparent, Durable Material: Made in France by Nicotplast, in food-grade, non-porous plastic, allowing visual monitoring of the cell and queen status at all times.

How to Use:

• Preparing the Queen Cell: Place a closed queen cell in a Nicot bloc and cúpula assembly, then insert it into the protector tube.

• Placing in the Hive: Insert the protector tube between two frames of a queenless colony or nucleus. You may add a drop of honey to the tube cap to nourish the queen during transport.

• Monitoring: Observe bee behavior to assess queen acceptance.

Benefits for Beekeepers: This protector simplifies queen introduction, reducing the risk of queen cell damage from lateral perforation. Its transparent design enables precise monitoring without excessive handling, enhancing efficiency and making management easier for beekeepers of all experience levels.

The Nicot CNE8 queen cell protector is the ideal tool for those seeking safe, controlled, and effective queen rearing.
