Queen Mating Nucleus Box 3+3 baby Frames Wood
Code: 1300
Price: 62,10 € 50,90 € + VAT
Queen mating nucleus box for 2 small colonies, with 3+3 frames mounted, vertical excluder, disk entrance and metal sheet roof.
The queen mating nucleus box serves to contain the small family of bees to which is entrusted the royal cell to keep it until the birth of the queen and then this one until fertilization.
In each of the two compartments there are 3 small frames, of which one door on top a pocket feeder. The central wall that separates the two compartments is mobile; by removing it, you can get a single compartment that can accommodate 7 frames.
To populate the beehive, choose a brood frame with a very robust colony and cut portions with a knife: this will be framed in the 6 small frames. Since the family has few foraging bees, it is necessary to often feed it with sugar syrup, using the special pocket-feeder. After a few days the small family is ready to welcome the first of the royal cells that the beekeeper had raised by a strong family and that now, a few hours after the hatching, he hands the nucleus to welcome the queen and the feed at birth.
After the nuptial flight and the regular laying of the first eggs, the queen is taken, marked and introduced in the special cage for the expedition or the introduction in an orphaned family.
