Queen rearing

​Large queen excluder with sealing plug.The queen is placed directly on a comb with emerging brood without any accompanying bees. The queen excluder is then pressed into the comb so that the queen is confined to a limited area. Within a few days, a stable court of young bees develops, which are very receptive and therefore show little aggression towards a new or foreign queen.Remove the cage after 8–10 days.Important to note:Do not leave an old queen in the colonyThe colony should ideally be queenless (or have had the queen removed at least 6–24 hours beforehand)Ensure there is sufficient food and peace and quiet in the colonyCheck after a few days to see if the queen can be released
