Made in collaboration with Jacques KEMP, it reproduces the royal cell. It allows the virgin queen to be born. It is necessary to insert her that is at most one day old and place her inside the family or orphan nucleus. Before introducing inside the artificial cell the queen , wax domes of a consistent thickness must be prepared. Following this, three small aeration holes must be drilled on the same with a hot needle. At this point the queen is inserted into the dummy cell, taking care to have well applied at the end the dome. Doing so will result in an artificial cell with a selected day-old queen inside.

Beetle Blaster is a NON-chemical trap for trapping and monitoring Aethina Tumida The trap should be placed between the frames as shown in the photo; multiple traps can be inserted depending on the infestation or the size of the Beehive.The bees try to drive away the beetle that tries to hide in the traps attracted by the dark entrance holes; it is thus trapped in the liquid inside (about 25-30 ml of mineral oil, apple cider vinegar or vegetable oil).It is recommended to keep the trap for no more than 2 weeks and monitor.Once the trap is full remove it by lifting it with a lever on all sides and slightly widening the frames to facilitate the operation.
