Direction for use (by 2
queen breeders)
 |
Fill up the
beepassing with dry candy. |
|
|
Take off the queen
which has to be changed and choose (if possible in the same colony) a frame as
right as possible (plate) with newborn bees. |
|
|
Take off all the bees
from the frame and put the introduction cage in the frame (fix it to the wax). |
|
|
Introduct the queen
through the hole and close it with the cap. The acceptation is
guaranteed because the young bees are not dangerous for the queen and look after
her very well. |
|
|
She starts to lay eggs in
free cells. |
|
|
After 2 days, the passing is
free of candy and the queen goes out to lay eggs on the frames. This method
allows a quiet and natural introduction, with no comparison with an introduction
in a small cage. The queen is not damaged and does not feel attacked. |
|
|
The check up and the
taking off of the introduction cage is done only 8 to 10 days after the
installation. |
|
|
Keep a passing of 1 cm between the cage and the frame in order for the bees to keep in touch with the hive. If necessary, take off a frame from the brood. |
