Beehive Frame Wire Crimper – Available with Wooden and Plastic Grip

Help control the movement of the queen at the hive entrance with this Plastic Queen Gate from Maghi Ram & Sons. It is designed with specially sized openings that allow worker bees to move through while restricting the larger queen from passing through the gate.
The gate can be fitted over the entrance of a compatible beehive and is useful during selected colony-management activities, such as helping prevent the queen from leaving the hive or reducing the chance of a newly introduced queen escaping.
