Detailed Description

Beekeepers use a queen clip to safely confine the queen during hive inspections or other tasks where she needs to be secured temporarily. The spring-loaded design allows the clip to open so the queen can be gently placed inside.

The slot spacing is designed so worker bees can pass through while the queen remains contained. This makes it useful when manipulating frames, performing cut-outs, removing bees from structures, or anytime the queen needs to be isolated briefly.

Made from stainless steel, this clip resists rust and corrosion and is suitable for long-term use in the bee yard. Its compact size allows it to be safely placed in a pocket while you continue working before returning the queen to the hive.
