Transparent Queen Bee Clip Set (2 Pieces)

Secure, Visible Handling for Queen Bees

This Transparent Queen Bee Clip set is designed to help beekeepers safely capture, inspect, and transfer queen bees with confidence. Each clip is made from durable, lightweight plastic and features a clear body that allows full visibility of the queen's position and movements at all times. The compact design (5.2 x 4.6 x 2.2 cm, approx. 20 g each) fits comfortably in hand while providing ample internal space for the queen.

The spring-loaded mechanism opens and closes smoothly, allowing quick one-handed operation in the hive. Multiple vent holes along the body of the clip ensure consistent airflow, helping to keep the queen cool and reducing stress during short-term confinement or transport. Rounded edges and a carefully spaced grid help prevent injury to the queen while still allowing workers to attend to her through the cage if needed.

Why It's a Smart Choice

• Safe queen handling - Ergonomic spring clip and smooth internal surfaces reduce the risk of injuring the queen during capture and transfer.
• Clear visibility - Transparent plastic lets you easily confirm the queen's location, behaviour, and condition without opening the clip.
• Ventilated and comfortable - Multiple vent holes promote airflow, helping maintain a suitable environment during transport or short-term holding.
