Battery Box For Queen Shipping - Single- Queen Cage not included
The queen shipping battery box is the plastic carrier that holds caged queens and their attendant workers together for transport through the mail. Circular slots seat individual queen cages, a hinged lid snaps over the top, and perforations across the lid keep air moving so the bees travel in good shape. This is a single box; the queen cage itself is not included.
Features
- Slots that hold individual queen cages and attendants
- Perforated lid and top for ventilation in transit
- Hinged lid that opens easily and closes securely
- Lightweight, durable plastic — reusable trip after trip
How it is used
Load a caged queen and a few attendant workers into the box, close the hinged lid, and the perforations keep the cluster ventilated while she moves between yards or ships to a buyer. The rigid plastic shrugs off the knocks of handling, and it wipes clean to use again.
