EZPZ Deep Queen Banker

Safely bank up to 20 queens in a single Langstroth deep frame using this modular queen cage holder. The EZPZ deep queen banker is designed to snap into groove-top deep frames and hold EZPZ queen cages upright for easy access by nurse bees. Use it to store virgin or mated queens in the hive until you're ready to use or distribute them.

Key Features and Benefits

A streamlined system for in-hive queen storage with flexible capacity.

• Banks 20 Queens: Holds up to 20 EZPZ queen cages per banker—double that with two per frame.

• Frame-Compatible Fit: Snaps into groove-top Langstroth deeps for easy in-hive installation.

• Flexible Storage Options: Use one for central placement or install two for max capacity (40 cages).

• Virgin or Mated: Ideal for holding queens for insemination, requeening, or pickup.

• Durable PETG Plastic: Designed for repeated use withstanding hive temperatures and humidity.

Usage Instructions

Snap the banker into the groove of a deep Langstroth frame—ideally while assembling the frame. Position it in the center where the bottom bar is most flexible. Secure with wax or tape if needed to prevent shifting. To bank 40 queens, install two bankers while assembling the frame. Load EZPZ queen cages and place the frame in a hive with sufficient nurse bees to tend the caged queens.

Detailed Description

The EZPZ deep queen banker makes hive-based queen storage simple and scalable. It allows you to bank virgin or mated queens directly in the hive, where nurse bees can care for them. Each banker fits 20 EZPZ queen cages and two can be installed in a single frame for high-density banking.

This tool is especially useful for breeders managing insemination schedules, seasonal queen turnover, or customer pickups. Designed to fit snugly into groove-top Langstroth frames (typically used with plastic foundation), it works best when installed during frame assembly. Made of sturdy PETG, it holds up under regular use and hive conditions.
