Wax Cell Cup Silicone Mold

Craft your own wax queen cell cups at home with this reusable silicone mold. Designed to produce 20 uniform cups per batch, it’s perfect for beekeepers who prefer using natural wax over plastic. Compatible with our wax mounts and EZPZ cages, it supports a fully wax-based grafting setup while ensuring secure queen development.

Key Features and Benefits

This mold gives you the ability to make professional-quality cell cups with your own beeswax, right in your own apiary.

• 20-Cup Capacity: Makes up to 20 wax cell cups per batch, streamlining your queen rearing process.

• Reusable Silicone: Flexible and durable material requires no mold release, making demolding easy.

• Supports Natural Wax: Lets you skip plastic and use your own wax, appealing to treatment-free or natural-focused beekeepers.

• Cools Quickly: Works best when allowed to cool fully—cold temps speed up the process for faster batches.

• Compatible System: The finished cups work seamlessly with our wax mounts and EZPZ queen cages for complete grafting setups.

Usage Instructions

Melt a small amount of beeswax and pour it into the mold cavities. Allow the wax to cool and fully harden before removing the cups to maintain their shape. For best results, use a chilled mold or let it rest in a cool room to accelerate cooling and make demolding easier.

Detailed Description

This 20-cup silicone mold is a simple and efficient tool for DIY queen rearing. Made of flexible food-grade silicone, it doesn't require any sprays or release agents, and wax pops out cleanly once hardened. You can easily make cups on demand whenever you have melted wax available, whether from rendering cappings or candle-making leftovers.

The cups produced match the size and shape commonly used in grafting and integrate perfectly with our wax mounts for secure placement in queen rearing frames. You can still use protective EZPZ queen cages over them, combining the natural feel of beeswax with the protection of modern equipment.
