Plastic Queen Cages – Pack of 2 for Safe Queen Handling

The OZ Armour Plastic Queen Cages – Pack of 2 provide a simple and practical way to safely hold, transport and introduce queen bees. Made from durable plastic, these cages provide a secure enclosure while allowing suitable ventilation around the queen.

With two cages per pack, they are a useful addition to a queen-rearing or queen-introduction setup. Explore OZ Armour for beekeeping equipment, queen-rearing supplies, hive tools and other essentials for your apiary.

Durable Plastic Construction

The queen cages are made from sturdy plastic designed for regular beekeeping use. The lightweight construction makes them easy to handle when catching, transporting or introducing a queen.

Their compact format also makes them easy to keep with your other queen-handling equipment.

Designed for Safe Queen Handling

Queen cages provide a controlled way to temporarily contain a queen during transportation or hive introduction. Keeping the queen enclosed helps make handling more manageable while reducing the risk of accidentally releasing her before the beekeeper is ready.

The cages are suitable for different stages of routine queen management.

Secure Ventilation

The cages are designed with ventilation openings to allow airflow around the enclosed queen. Adequate ventilation is important when a queen is being held temporarily, particularly during transportation or preparation for introduction.

The enclosed design provides a practical balance between containment and airflow.

Two Cages Per Pack

Each standard pack contains 2 plastic queen cages, giving beekeepers two cages for queen handling or keeping a spare available when needed. A larger 5-pack containing 10 cages is also available on the OZ Armour listing.

This makes the product suitable for individual beekeepers as well as those who regularly work with multiple queens.

Useful for Queen Introduction

A queen cage can be used as part of a planned queen-introduction process, giving the colony time to become accustomed to the new queen before she is fully released.

The cage can therefore be a useful part of a broader queen-rearing and queen-replacement toolkit.

Lightweight and Easy to Store

The plastic construction keeps the cages lightweight and easy to carry. Their small size means they can be stored conveniently with queen markers, grafting tools, queen catchers and other queen-rearing supplies.

Keeping spare cages available can also be useful when unexpected queen-handling situations arise.

Suitable for Different Beekeepers

The straightforward design makes these plastic queen cages suitable for beginners and experienced beekeepers. They can be useful for hobby apiaries, queen-rearing projects and routine queen introduction.
