Double Queen Mating Box

Double Queen Mating Box for Efficient Queen Breeding

The OZ Armour Double Queen Mating Box is designed for queen breeding and mating work, allowing beekeepers to manage two queen-rearing colonies within one compact setup. Its lightweight high-density EPS construction provides insulation while keeping the box easy to handle around the apiary.

With dedicated space for frames, feeding and separation, it is a practical option for beekeepers looking to expand their queen-rearing setup. Explore OZ Armour for beekeeping equipment, queen-rearing supplies, hive components and other essentials for your apiary.

Designed for Double Queen Management

The Double Queen Mating Box features a PVC partition that divides the box into two sections, allowing two queen colonies to be managed separately within the same unit.

This arrangement can make the mating process more organised while making efficient use of available space.

High-Density EPS Construction

The box is made from high-density EPS material, designed to provide pressure resistance, heat preservation and protection from sunlight. The lightweight construction also makes the mating box easier to move when required.

This combination makes it practical for queen breeding and mating applications where insulation and portability are useful.

8 Frames Per Level

Each level accommodates 8 frames, providing dedicated space for the colonies being managed. The frame area uses food-grade plastic components with reserved pathways on both sides to support efficient bee movement.

The frame capacity gives beekeepers useful room for establishing and managing mating colonies.

Large-Capacity Top Feeder

The integrated large-capacity top feeder provides a convenient way to supply syrup without unnecessarily disturbing the bees.

Its design helps provide access to feed while keeping the feeding process separate from the main colony space.

Nest Door and Ventilation Design

The mating box includes a nest door design that provides ventilation while helping prevent the queen from escaping. The opening can also be closed when required, giving the beekeeper greater control over the colony.

This feature makes the box practical for controlled queen-mating management.

Mini and Lightweight Design

The compact format makes the Double Queen Mating Box easier to handle than a full-sized hive setup. Its lightweight construction is particularly useful when mating colonies need to be moved, inspected or repositioned.

It is designed for beekeepers who want a dedicated setup for queen breeding without the footprint of a full hive.

Suitable for Queen Breeding

The Double Queen Mating Box is intended for professional and hobby queen breeding, providing separate colony spaces, feeding access and controlled entrances in one unit.

It can be used alongside grafting tools, queen cell cups, queen cages and other queen-rearing equipment as part of a complete breeding setup.
