Varroa i fights them more effectively by zeroing out the winter brood. From this observation comes the Menna cage, designed and patented by Vincenzo Menna: a practical device that promotes the queen's rest in the colder months, and that brings all the varroa present in the Beehive more easily out into the open. The period of use varies from northern to southern Italy, but indicatively the first days of November will be the most suitable to start caging, and mid to late January those for caging. Considering that a regular family goes into production in 60 to 70 days from the release of the queen, it will be up to the beekeeper to adjust the period.
Patented system. Made of food-grade plastic material. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION: With the use of our system, the queen lays directly in the dome. It allows rearing from the larvae of 6/24 hours. Dimensions of the cupolarve: 147 X 130 X 28 mm The cupolarve consists of 3 main pieces: ? 1 honeycomb body consisting of 110 honeycombs and 1 candy reservoir for queen introduction. The 110 alveoli receive 110 plastic domes (not supplied) or, alternatively, 110 wax domes (not supplied) ? 1 queen excluder grid ? 1 transparent plate RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE: Cut a rectangle from a brood honeycomb in the center of the frame (against the wooden top) of the size corresponding to the cupolarve. Attach the cupolarve with two wood screws through the two corresponding holes. Place it to familiarize inside the family (in the middle of the brood) without the queen excluder grid. Smelling the queen and building wax bridges will facilitate the laying of the next brood. Feed the queen four days before , until the queen is introduced. Extraction of the dome should be done when the larva inside is 6/24 hours old (extraction with the "queen game" piece (HY G-0009) is recommended) If the rearing conditions are met (SEASON-TEMPERATURE-NUTRIENTATION- CUPOLARGE WELL IN THE CENTER OF THE COVADE etc...)everything should be fine. It is possible to dip the cupolarve in molten wax (in this case, do not exceed 65°) prior to placement in the family.
