{"product_id":"ezpz-queen-rearing-kit","title":"EZPZ Queen Rearing Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe EZPZ Queen Rearing Kit is centered around the award winning EZPZ Queen Cage and includes everything you need to raise and protect up to 60 queens in your apiary. After that, you only need more cell cups to keep making more!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  All major components are made in USA from PETG. The cell bars and cups are genuine JZBZ. This is very important for successful grafting and to use with the EZPZ components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e If you've never grafted before, don't worry! With a little practice you'll be doing it easily. Choose a great donor queen and make a strong starter. I like using the Cloake Method because it's a starter and finisher in one and the colony isn't sacrificed for the sake of the queen cells.

It allows for 2 bars of cells if you're adding cages on the bars or 3 bars if not. They may be attached with small screws or glue. Gorilla Super Glue works well. Use plenty and get it done days in advance so the fumes don't discourage the nurse bees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe syringe is for adding a drop of honey and a drop of water into the troughs at the bottom of each cage.  Leave the long needle off to start and suck up a bunch of honey into the syringe. Place the needle on the tip and carefully add a drop into one trough of each cage. Then empty the syringe and refill it with water. Add the needle and practice dispensing a drop or two outside the cages (it's actually harder than honey because it tends to squirt out too much) before applying a couple of drops into the other trough in each cage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ezpz.buzz\/pages\/product-care\"\u003eProduct Care\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EZPZ Beekeeping Equipment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45444147544121,"sku":"2023112","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/3006\/8025\/files\/20251001_174702.jpg?v=1770411396","url":"https:\/\/blueridgehoneycompany.com\/products\/ezpz-queen-rearing-kit","provider":"Blue Ridge Honey Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
