Nicot components

Rearing queen bees has never been easier for beekeepers. Highly productive results are made possible by the modern professional Nicot system, used by beekeepers around the world.

Nicot system components

You do not have to buy the complete kit to rear queen bees. Beekeepers can purchase all components in the quantities they need and add more whenever required.

Nicot system components include:

• Nicot comb (cassette) – the Nicot cassette is the main component. It is fitted with plates on both sides. The front section is secured with a plastic grille with slots that keep the queen bee inside the comb. It also has special openings with a plug for introducing the queen bee. The other side of the comb is closed with a plate fitted with openings and a plug.
• Nicot cell cups - used for queen rearing in the Nicot system. They are fixed to the back of the comb, after which it is closed with a cover without slots. While in the comb, the queen bee lays eggs in the cell cups. The cell cups are made in a shape and size close to natural queen cells, so they are readily accepted by bees and do not harm them.
• Nicot cell cup holders - used for queen rearing or obtaining royal jelly. Cell cups with larvae are placed in them.
• Base for holder – fixed to a grafting bar so that the Nicot cell cup holder can then be attached to it.
• Royal jelly spoon – used for collecting royal jelly.
• Protective cage – isolates a queen cell or queen bee, as the first emerged queen bee may destroy the others. It can also be used when introducing a queen bee to a colony. The cage (hair roller cage) is fitted with a special plug cap that closes the passage to the queen bee and is also convenient during feeding.
• Queen introduction cage – used for introducing a queen bee into a new bee colony.
• Shipping cage – designed for transporting queen bees.
• Nicot queen excluder – used to isolate the queen bee in the brood area of the hive.
• Artificial queen cells – used for introducing queen bees into a bee colony.
• Queen cell protection cap – designed to protect the queen cell from being chewed or crushed during movement or introduction into a bee colony.
