The Importance of Queen-Rearing for Successful Colonies
 
Should something happen to your existing queen, having backup queen bees is essential so the hive can continue as normal. This is why queen-rearing is important. Whether you’re raising queens yourself or are purchasing them from a retailer, having easy access to a new queen should you need it is critical for the survival of your colony.
 
Our queen-rearing frame keeps the queen cells nestled safely in the cell bars within the colony as they grow. Check out our complete queen-rearing kit to ensure your colony has everything it needs to survive and thrive with a new queen.
