Larval Grafting Spatula (Austria) images
Professional double-ended stainless steel spatula for transferring larvae. Austrian quality speaks for itself!
In beekeeping, many beekeepers use the larval transfer method, also known as grafting larvae, to rear queen bees or obtain royal jelly. There are many tools available for transferring larvae. One of the best tools for this procedure is the professional Austrian spatula.
This model of larval grafting spatula is specified by the manufacturer as suitable for professional use. It is made from high-quality stainless steel. The spatula handle has a double seal for comfortable use. The textured handle makes it easy to rotate the spatula in either direction while transferring larvae. The spatula comes complete with a plastic storage case. Made in Switzerland to the highest quality standards.
For grafting larvae, one-day-old larvae aged from 6 to 24 hours are used. To control the age of the larvae, you can monitor the queen bee’s laying on an inserted comb, or judge by the size of the bee larva itself. The image shows larvae suitable for grafting. Older larvae do not receive the proper queen-rearing treatment, and this can affect the quality of the queen bee produced.
