1 Performance of the honey bee colonies depends on quality attributes inherited by the offspring of the queen. Thus, for successful and profitable beekeeping, production of young, freshly mated and good quality queen bees, with known pedigree are required. A strong and actively laying queen is one of the essential components of a successful honey bee colony. Queen transmits to the colony all the important characters like longevity, disease resistance, temperament, swarming tendency etc. As much as, the knowledge of queen rearing techniques is important, using the right apparatus for mass rearing of queen honey bees is equally important. Artificial Mass Queen Bee Rearing is being practiced widely all over the country. For this, different types of equipment are used for preparing queen cell cups and transferring of eggs/ larvae to the cell cups affixed on wooden blocks on bars of grafting frame.
