Raise Queens Without Grafting – Detailed Description of the BuzzBeeEquip Queen Rearing Box

If you want to scale up queen production but hate the stress of grafting, this Nicot-style complete queen rearing kit gives you a clean, repeatable system that works inside a normal brood box.

You fasten the queen rearing box to a brood frame, confine the queen behind the clear excluder lid, and let her lay directly into the brown plastic cell cups. Once the eggs hatch, you pop those cups into cell holders and move them to your starter/finisher colonies—no grafting tools, no squashed larvae, just consistent bee queen rearing on a predictable calendar.

The body is made from rigid, injection-moulded plastic that stands up to daily hive temperatures and the propolis you’ll scrape off season after season. The brown cups act as low-cost consumables: you can replace them in bulk while reusing the main queen breeding box kit for years, which is exactly what commercial yards do to keep costs per queen down.

This kit comes from Benefitbee’s factory in Yangjiang, Guangdong, a region known for precision plastic tooling, with a monthly capacity of 5,000 sets and finished-product inspection on every batch. In real apiaries, beekeepers use systems like this to run 2–3 rounds of ~80–110 cells per hive per month, dramatically increasing queen availability.

If you’re ready to move from trial-and-error grafting to a no-graft queen rearing system, ask our team for current factory pricing on 50–5,000 sets or request a single sample kit to test in your best breeder colony.

Global Shipping & Easy Payment – Logistics Snapshot

From our Shenzhen export hub, we ship this queen rearing kit wholesale under common Incoterms such as EXW, FOB Shenzhen, CIF, and DAP. For samples and urgent small orders under ~30 kg, we typically use DHL, FedEx, UPS, TNT, or EMS express. Bulk and OEM orders over 45 kg or 1 CBM move more economically by air cargo or sea freight.

You can settle payments via T/T (30% deposit, balance before shipment), PayPal, Western Union, MoneyGram, VISA, Mastercard, or Escrow, depending on your accounting rules. With a stable capacity of 5,000 kits per month, we support both seasonal top-ups and long-term distributor programs.

Quality Control & Compliance – Trusted Production for Beekeeping Equipment

We treat queen rearing gear as mission-critical equipment, not plastic toys. Every batch of BBE-QRK-3 queen rearing kits goes through:

• Incoming material checks for plastic parts and fittings
• Finished product inspection before packing
• Carton drop-tests to reduce transit breakage
• Support for third-party inspections (e.g., SGS, Intertek) on request

If your market requires specific documentation (food-contact, REACH, etc.), our team can coordinate additional testing for OEM orders.

How One Distributor Standardized Queen Supply With Our No-Graft Kit

A North American distributor supplying mid-size queen breeders switched from mixed, retail Nicot copies to our factory-direct queen rearing box kit. Their customers had been struggling with inconsistent plastic tolerances and broken cups in transit.

By stocking BBE-QRK-3 complete queen rearing kits plus bulk refill cups, they cut shipping breakage by around 30% and reduced training time for new staff because every set worked the same way out of the box. Within two seasons, the distributor reported roughly 25% higher repeat orders on queen rearing equipment and a noticeable uptick in sales of mating nucs and marking tools that pair with this system.

Which Queen Rearing Option Is Right for You?

Variant	What You Get	Best For…	Practical Notes from the Apiary
Complete Queen Rearing Kit (BBE-QRK-3)	Box + excluder lid + ~110 cell cups (brown) + fittings	Beekeepers starting queen rearing or standardizing on one Nicot queen rearing kit	Start with 1–3 kits per yard; ideal for 30–300 hive operations wanting predictable queen batches.
Queen Rearing Box Only	Empty beige box with excluder lid	Operations that already hold stock of compatible cups	Good when cups are sourced locally; also useful as a spare box if you’re running multiple breeder queens.
Bulk Queen Cell Cups	Bags or cartons of plastic cell cups	Commercial yards running continuous queen breeding box kit cycles	Treat cups as consumables—replace after several cycles for best hygiene; easy to brand with OEM colours.
Queen Cell Cages / Protectors	Clip-on protectors for capped cells	Breeders shipping or banking capped queen cells	Reduces damage from workers chewing or rolling queen cells during transport and in incubators.

If you’re unsure, start with one complete no-graft queen rearing kit in your best, calm breeder colony. Once your team is comfortable with the calendar, add more kits or bulk cups to match your target queens per week.

See the No-Graft System in Action – Video Demo Section

A short video makes this Nicot queen rearing box much easier to understand than any diagram. In our recommended demo, you’ll see the full workflow: assembling the queen rearing kit, fixing it to a brood frame, confining the queen, then returning a few days later to pull out evenly aged larvae in brown cups.

The video then walks through moving cups to starter and finisher colonies, protecting capped cells with cages, and installing new queens into mating nucs. Watching the actual timing, bee coverage, and handling speed helps your team copy a proven routine, cut down on failed batches, and get the full value from your no-graft queen rearing system from day one.

Clear Answers for Queen Rearing Buyers – FAQ

Q1. What exactly is this queen rearing kit and how does it work?
This is a Nicot-type, no-graft queen rearing kit where the queen lays directly into plastic cell cups inside a rearing box. Once eggs hatch, you remove the cups and place them into cell holders in your starter/finisher colonies to raise queens without grafting.

Q2. Is this kit compatible with other Nicot queen rearing systems?
Yes. The layout and brown plastic cell cups are Nicot-style, so in most cases they are compatible with standard Nicot or Cupularva queen breeding accessories, though tiny dimensional differences can exist between brands.

Q3. How many queens can I raise with one kit at a time?
The box is designed for roughly 110 cell cups. In practice, most beekeepers target 60–90 strong cells per cycle to match their mating nuc capacity and avoid overloading their starter/finisher colonies.

Q4. Do I still need grafting skills with this system?
No. This is a graft-free queen rearing system. The queen does the “grafting” for you by laying directly into the cups, which is why it’s popular with beginners and commercial yards training new staff.

Q5. Is the plastic safe for bees and brood?
The kit uses durable beekeeping-grade plastic similar to what is used in queen excluders and feeders. If you keep it clean and avoid harsh solvents, bees accept it readily and build normal royal jelly and wax around the cups.

Q6. How long will one queen rearing box last in the apiary?
In normal use, the main box and excluder lid can last for many seasons. Beekeepers typically treat the brown cell cups as consumables—clean gently between cycles and replace them in bulk when they become heavily propolised or damaged.

Q7. Can I buy replacement queen cell cups in bulk or with my own colour/logo?
Yes. We supply plastic queen cell cups in bulk cartons of 1,000 pcs, and for OEM orders of 5,000 pcs or more we can customise colours and packaging with your brand name or logo.

Q8. What is the MOQ and pricing for wholesale or OEM orders?
Standard wholesale starts from about 100 kits, with mixed cartons available. Full OEM (logo, colour, packaging) normally starts at 5,000 sets. Contact our sales team with your target quantity, destination port, and Incoterm to receive a current queen rearing kit wholesale price list.

Q9. Is this queen rearing box suitable for beginners?
Yes. Many beekeepers use this as their best queen rearing kit for beginners because it removes the hardest part—grafting—while teaching you the timing, colony strength, and handling needed for serious queen production.

Q10. Any practical tips to improve queen acceptance with this system?
Use your calmest, strongest breeder colony; ensure plenty of open brood and nurse bees; prime cell cups with a thin film of royal jelly if acceptance is low; and follow a clear queen rearing calendar so larvae are transferred to starters at 12–24 hours old. Consistency in timing is more important than perfection in technique.
