Professional bag for safely handling queens — mark, wing-trim, or transfer them without escape risk. Foldable, self-supporting, and reusable.
Folding, self-supporting bag for handling queens: you work with both hands through elastic sleeves and the queen has nowhere to go.
A queen that takes off in the field does not come back. That is the whole problem it solves, and why you can do alone what usually takes two people.
01 · WHAT IT PREVENTS
Marking her, clipping a wing, moving her from one cage to another or clearing her attendants are jobs of seconds in which one wrong move is enough. Inside the bag they can be done anywhere — apiary, car or workroom — because if she gets loose, she gets loose inside.
02 · WHAT IT IS LIKE INSIDE
The base fabric is white, which is what lets you see a dark queen without hunting for her, and the top panel is black anti-glare mesh: you look down into it without reflections.
The elastic polycotton sleeves close round the arm and leave both hands free inside, and the structure is self-supporting: it does not collapse while you work.
03 · MARKING
If you take the chance to mark her, the international code turns on a five-year cycle and 2026 is white — the same as 2021, and back again in 2031.
