beetle traps that are placed between the frame tops.  Add DE (diatomaceous earth) to the trap and the bees will chase the beetles into the trap.  Once the beetles go in, the DE turns the trap into a \"DeathTrap!\"  When the trap is full or the DE is used up, you can dump the contents and reuse the trap!  No more wasting money throwing out old traps.  These traps will work with 10 frame boxes, 8 frame, nucs, or any Langstroph frames.  These traps sit flat on top of the frames so that beetles cannot hide under the lip of the trap...a very common problem in those cheap single-use traps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach 5 pack contains at least one propolis removal tool.  This is a simple tool that helps to pop the propolis out of the slots in the top of the trap.  Speaking of propolis, bees love to propolize everything inside the hive including the holes.  You can use the tool to pop out the propolis from each hole or you can remove the lid and throw it into the freezer for a couple hours to help remove it.  Some people even just open and close the lid several times and it can remove some of it as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll the trap bodies are made with translucent plastic.  While it is not perfectly transparent, you can still see through the sides fairly easily and will give you an idea how full the trap might

Cage","description":"This is a roll cage for housing queen cells, virgin queens or even capturing queens and other bees.  The caps are interchangeable (same on each end) and use a friction fit.  The caps are designed to be a bit tight so they will not come off without pulling and twisting the cap.  The caps have channels to add water and\/or honey for feeding those freshly hatched virgins.  The tube has a flat end to hold a JZ BZ queen cap and the other end is just open.  You can use these to hold your queen cells in these cages when they are getting close to emerging...or you suspect they might emerge early.  Then there is no way they can escape and if you add the water and honey to the bottom cap they can feed.  For capturing queens, you can open one end and direct the queen into the cage and cap the end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tube is approximately 2 3\/4\" long and about 7\/8\" in diameter.  With the caps on the tube is slightly over 3\"

Isolation Cage","description":"These queen isolation cages are used to introduce mated queens to an established colony.  Our cages are now offered in two designs, with and without a skirt.  \"With the skirt\" is good for introducing a queen into comb that is not fully drawn out.  This way the workers will not be able to easily dig under the edges.  \"Without the skirt\" option does not mangle the honeycomb as much as the skirt option.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese are 4 inches by 4 inches and approximately 1 inch deep.  The legs are made to press against the plastic foundation and stop you from pushing the cage in too far.  If using wax foundation take care not to press the cage in too far.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese cages are 3d printed using PETG and come in various colors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsage directions: Pick out a spot on the frame where there is emerging worker brood and some available cells.  Place the queen in this area and cover with the queen cage.  The emerging brood will help take care of the queen and clean their cell for the queen to lay.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor more information on push in cages and how to use them check
