Lega Queen Confinement Cage

  • 1 x comb langstroth 

Instructions:

  1. Confine the queen on an empty comb and place in the trap.
  2. After 7 days, remove the frame and substitute another frame with the queen trapped again.
  3. After 18 days, both frames will be full of sealed brood and, hopefully, full of varroa mites trapped with the only brood available to them.
  4. Remove both frames and destroy.

Faulty Lega Queen Confinement Cage

It appears to be faulty and its not what I was expecting as its only got 3 sides and can only be used against the wall of a hive - this is not what I thought I was ordering - still waiting for someone to get back to me about a refund/return

Faulty product

Sides are not closed. Queen escapes easily.

Screen not a cage

This item is described as a cage when in fact it is half a cage a screen to block the queen to the outer extremes of the hive. This where honey goes not where the queen can be kept warm. Not happy with item or description.

Lega Queen confinement cage

Varroa in Australia using a more natural method of trapping mites in drone brood. Hoping it won’t come to that but not a fan of putting pesticides in the hives. Looking for other methods of encouraging a brood break.
