Top Bar Queen Cell Protectors – 100pk for Safer Queen Cell Handling

The OZ Armour Top Bar Queen Cell Protectors are designed to help protect developing queen cells during installation and handling. Made from durable plastic, these protectors provide a practical way to shield queen cells while they are positioned between the top bars of frames.

With 100 protectors per pack, they are a useful choice for beekeepers carrying out regular queen-rearing work or preparing equipment for multiple queen cells. Explore OZ Armour for queen-rearing supplies, hive equipment, tools and other essentials for your apiary.

Designed to Protect Queen Cells

Queen cells require careful handling during the rearing and introduction process. These protectors provide a physical barrier around the cell, helping reduce the chance of accidental contact or damage while the cell is being installed or handled.

This makes them a useful component of an organised queen-rearing setup.

100 Protectors Per Pack

Each pack contains 100 queen cell protectors, providing plenty of pieces for larger queen-rearing projects or multiple grafting sessions.

Having a supply on hand also means you can prepare several queen cells without needing to replenish your equipment after every session.

Designed to Hang Between Top Bars

The protectors are designed to hang between the top bars of frames, providing a convenient method of positioning and protecting queen cells within the hive.

Their straightforward design makes installation and retrieval simple when working through your queen-rearing equipment.

Durable Plastic Construction

The protectors are made from durable plastic, giving them a lightweight construction while providing the structure needed to protect queen cells during hive work.

Plastic also makes the protectors easy to handle when preparing a large number of cells.

Helps During Queen Cell Introduction

Protecting the queen cell is particularly important when installing developing cells into a colony. The protector helps keep the cell separated from unwanted contact while allowing it to remain positioned correctly.

This can be useful when transferring queen cells as part of a planned queen-rearing process.

Easy to Install and Retrieve

The simple design allows the protectors to be placed between the top bars and removed when required. This makes them practical for beekeepers who need to inspect or manage queen cells throughout the development process.

Useful for Larger Queen-Rearing Projects

A pack of 100 makes these protectors particularly useful for beekeepers managing multiple queen cells. They can be kept as part of a dedicated queen-rearing kit alongside cell cups, grafting tools, cell holders and mating equipment.

Suitable for Beginners and Experienced Beekeepers

The straightforward design makes the protectors suitable for beekeepers learning queen rearing as well as experienced queen breeders managing larger numbers of cells.

They provide a simple additional layer of protection without adding complicated components to the setup.
