TempQueen QM 5 pack

HOW TO INSTALL IT

Cinch the cable tie (provided) around the lure. Attach the lure holder to the top bar of the middle frame using a thumb tack or pushpin (see image).

HOW LONG DOES TEMPQUEEN LAST?

The lure will last for approximately 3 weeks in the hive. Remove the lure when a new queen is introduced.

USES

1. Temporary replacement of the Queen: When a queen dies and no other queen is available immediately or the queen is failing, TempQueen will keep the colony queenright for up to 3 weeks.

2. Shipping queenless bee packages.

3. Holding queenless splits and nucs. Insert one TempQueen between the two central brood combs of the prepared unit. The lure will hold these units for about three weeks.

4. Stabilize disposable pollination units. The cost of disposable pollination units can be reduced by using TempQueen instead of a true queen.

5. Improving queen rearing success. TempQueen used in queen mating nuclei can maintain higher worker numbers than non-treated nucs. Use one TempQueen per mating nuclei when it is established.
