The Drone Collection Cage is an essential tool for honey bee breeders performing artificial insemination of queen bees. Designed for both catching and storing drones, it ensures your drones remain healthy, fed, and ready for use.
✅ Easy Drone Catching & Storage – Insert drones through the pivoting door and lock them securely inside.
✅ Hive-Compatible Feeding – Top and bottom feature queen excluder panels, allowing worker bees to feed the drones while they remain safely enclosed.
✅ Controlled Release System – The pivoting door rotates to release the top excluder, opening a small port so drones crawl out one at a time when needed.
✅ Versatile Use – Can be paired with drone release cages for controlled handling within a mesh screen, making collection for insemination even easier.
✅ Durable Design – Made with strong, lightweight, bee-safe plastic for repeated use.
This cage is trusted by professional queen breeders and serious hobbyists alike, simplifying one of the most delicate steps in advanced bee breeding.
