EZPZ Candy Caps

Convert your EZPZ queen cages into transport and introduction cages with these durable candy caps. Each cap is designed to hold around 6 grams of queen candy, providing a timed-release mechanism for introducing queens safely. The flat top also makes it easy to apply tape for added control during extended introductions.

Key Features and Benefits

Candy caps simplify queen introductions and shipping by providing a secure and gradual release method.

• Fits EZPZ Cages: Snaps securely onto the top of EZPZ queen cages for seamless integration.

• Timed Queen Release: Fill with candy to create a slow, reliable queen introduction process.

• Flat Top Surface: Apply tape over the opening to delay release or secure during transport.

• 6g Candy Capacity: Holds enough candy for several days of controlled release.

• Durable PETG Plastic: Built to withstand handling, transport, and storage—washable and reusable.

Usage Instructions

Mix your favorite queen candy—one cup powdered sugar with 1–2 tablespoons corn syrup is a great starting ratio. Add syrup gradually and knead until the texture is firm but pliable and doesn’t slump when formed. Fill each cap with about 6 grams of candy, press into the top of your EZPZ cage, and tape over if desired for a longer delay.

Detailed Description

The EZPZ candy caps are a smart upgrade for any queen-rearing setup. Whether you’re mailing virgins or introducing mated queens, these caps turn EZPZ cages into controlled-release carriers. Each cap creates a consistent seal and is shaped for quick filling and easy handling.

Made from strong PETG plastic, they’re reusable season after season and work well with most common queen candy recipes. Their flat tops allow beekeepers to manage release timing using tape or plugs, especially helpful when introducing queens into sensitive or aggressive colonies.
