Queen Insemination Holder Tube

Made of clear plastic and measuring approximately 5 mm in diameter, it allows full visibility of the queen’s abdomen. The conical opening facilitates smooth insertion, while the tubular shape ensures secure positioning without compression or twisting.

It is used in combination with dorsal or ventral hooks to allow precise handling throughout the insemination process.

The Holder Tube is crucial for controlled insertion of the queen during the insemination process, with a conical design that facilitates precise placement and minimizes stress on the queen.

Use and Application:

1) Insertion: Once the queen is secured in the Backing Tube, introduce the Holder Tube with its conical end towards the queen.
2) Careful Handling: Allow the queen to gently advance towards the Holder Tube through a controlled movement, ensuring her correct alignment for insemination.
3) Anesthesia and Procedure: Place the assembly on the carbon dioxide valve (if anesthesia is required) before proceeding with insemination, ensuring a safe and effective process.
