The Brown Nicot Queen Rearing Cell Cup is an essential component of modern queen rearing systems, suitable for both Nicot Cupkit and traditional cell bar setups. It is made from non-porous, food-grade plastic that meets beekeeping standards, providing hygienic conditions for larvae and excellent acceptance by bees.

Its light brown translucent color makes it easy to see larvae and royal jelly inside the cup, allowing you to monitor queen development without over-handling the frame. With approximate dimensions of 10×10 mm, it fits perfectly into Nicot cell grids (Cupkit/Cupularve), yellow cell cup holders, and hair-roller cages used to protect queen cells before emergence.

These cups can be reused many times when properly cleaned, tolerating moderate washing temperatures and gentle disinfecting solutions without deforming. They are ideal for beekeepers who want to save time compared to wax cups, keep hygiene consistent, and produce a uniform batch of queens.

Main uses:

– Queen rearing using the Nicot/Cupkit system without directly grafting eggs.

– Queen rearing on cell bars by grafting larvae under 24 hours old into each cup.

– Royal jelly production and preparing queen cells that will later be protected in emergence cages.

Features:

– Food-grade, non-porous plastic suitable for beekeeping.

– Light brown translucent color for better visibility of larvae and royal jelly.

– Approximate size: 10 mm diameter × 10 mm height.

– Compatible with Nicot Cupkit/Cupularve grids, cell cup holders, and hair-roller cages.

– Smooth surface, easy to clean and disinfect between batches.

– Reusable, economical, and practical for intensive queen rearing.
