Key Features and Benefits

Purpose-built for efficient queen rearing and seamless compatibility with trusted components.

• JZBZ-Compatible Fit: Designed to snap snugly onto genuine JZBZ cell cups—no wobble or misfit.

• Emergence Protection: Shields virgin queens during emergence in hive or incubator conditions.

• Dual Feeding Troughs: Small built-in wells hold drops of honey or water to nourish emerging queens.

• Incubator or Hive Use: Mount on cell bars in finishers or pop off and transfer to a queen bank or incubator.

• Durable PETG Plastic: Reusable, translucent, and strong enough for repeated cycles.

Usage Instructions

Snap cages gently onto JZBZ cell cups—practice with a few empty ones first to perfect your technique. After cells are capped, mount the cages on your cell bar. To release or inspect, pinch the long sides of the cage to slightly widen the grip, then carefully remove the cup. Add a drop of honey and a drop of water to the troughs using a syringe or pipette for nourishment during emergence.

Detailed Description

EZPZ queen cages are a field-tested solution for protecting your capped queen cells and emerging virgins. Specifically designed to fit real JZBZ cell cups, these cages click on securely and stay put through handling, grafting, and emergence. Their bottom troughs provide a simple feeding option that helps support queen health without needing candy caps unless you’re introducing or mailing.

Made from strong, translucent PETG plastic, these cages can handle repeated use and clean easily. Note that only true JZBZ cups will fit correctly—other lookalike cups may not be compatible due to slight size inconsistencies. Always seat cages gently to avoid damaging developing queens.
