This cell protector was designed so the cell could be “planted” without disrupting the frames and it take less time. However, for best results it should be positioned over the center of the brood nest or slightly to the rear relative to the hive opening. (To take advantage of the fact that the youngest bees always hang out on the far side of the cluster, relative to the hive opening) Many users re queen using this cell protector with 80% or better success ratio. In theory, when the new queen emerges, there will be two queens in the hive, which neither one of them favors. So they have a nasty fight and the one with the greatest vigor wins, and the hive has just been re queened.

Priced per thousand.
