Cross Queen Cage

Cross Queen Cage for Beekeeping (Overwintering Queen Retainer)
-
Spacious Cross Structure
Four-way extended cross design greatly expands the moving space for the queen bee, effectively reducing stress and injury during long-term captivity, greatly improving the survival rate of queens through cold winter. The overall length reaches 20cm, far larger than traditional small queen cages.
-
Detachable Sealing Plugs for Flexible Use
Equipped with independent removable blocking tabs on each arm. You can seal any channel to lock the queen inside, or open partial openings to allow worker bees to enter and feed the queen normally while preventing the queen from escaping. It supports multi-scene operations: single queen storage, multiple queen temporary isolation, and group introduction.
-
Scientific Grille Gap Design
Precise slit width stops the queen bee from crawling out, yet permits worker bees to freely pass through to deliver food and care, maintaining normal bee colony trophallaxis without isolating the queen from the colony’s nursing system.
-
Durable Premium Plastic Material
Made of thickened high-strength engineering plastic, anti-aging, crack-resistant and not easy to deform under low temperature or long-term use. It resists corrosion from bee wax and honey, reusable year after year for long service life.
Standard Dimensions
- Total maximum span: 20cm (7.87 inches)
- Single arm effective length: 6.6cm (2.6 inches)
- Thickness of the cage body: 1.5cm (0.59 inches)
- Size of each detachable plug: 3.5cm × 1.38cm
Main Application Scenarios
Lock the queen to limit egg-laying in late autumn, help the bee colony stop breeding and gather honey reserves, protect the queen from being abandoned or killed by the colony during winter, and ensure smooth overwintering.
✅ Queen Isolation & Anti-Swarming
Restrain the queen to suppress natural swarming tendency of strong colonies, control colony expansion pace.
✅ Queen Introduction & Replacement
Isolate new queens temporarily to avoid being attacked and killed by worker bees when introducing a new queen to a queenless hive.
✅ Temporary Queen Storage
Store spare queens separately for backup use during beekeeping season.
