Description

The queen blocker is a useful tool for catching and blocking the queen so that it is secured during the inspection of the hive and work with it. It would also be an extremely useful tool during the division of nest and the separation of the working bees.•

Some of the useful properties of queen blockers are reflected in the following:Preventing swarming in the case when society enters the swarm instinct, and beekeeper needs mature queens. Experience shows that as soon as the queens close the hive, the bees will come out with the old queen and swarm. However, if the queen is blocked for a few days, the swarm of bees will not come out. After all the queen hives are closed, taken away, the queen is released and when there are no more queen hives, she will not leave the hive.•              Orientation of the queen when we want to fill the empty cells on the frames where there are already nests and honey.

The reception of queens through the blocker is far more successful because the open surface for the spreading of queen pheromones is larger.·                                                    Blocking the queen can be done for a short period of time·                                                    When carrying the frames we can make a block to prevent flying off or injuring the queenThe queen blocker is made of yellow polypropylene plastic in yellow colour in two shades, with a Hahnemann grid, through which bees can pass, but not the queen with a small grid structure through which neither bees nor the queen can pass, all depending on the needs of society.·
