Introducing the Q8 Queen Breeding System — A Breakthrough in Apiculture Engineering A true marvel of innovation, the Q8 Queen Breeding System is designed to maximize your productivity, streamline operations, and deliver exceptional return on investment. With just one successful cycle of eight mated queens, this high-performance system can pay for itself. Built to last, the Q8 boasts a robust 30-year design life, making it a smart, long-term asset for any serious queen breeder. Efficient, Scalable, and Ready to Work The Q8 features eight fully independent mating chambers, each ready to receive a mature queen cell mounted on a uniquely engineered Tri-fold full-depth frame. These chambers are housed within a standard full-depth brood box, constructed from twin-wall, food-grade polypropylene and insulated with 15mm EPS for optimal thermal performance. Smart Design Meets Practical Utility Each Tri-fold frame unfolds into a standard Langstroth frame, with provisions for securing comb foundation using two wires per section. Once the comb is drawn and filled with brood and resources, the frame can be removed, bees and all, and neatly folded into three smaller frames—each perfectly sized to fit into a Q8 compartment for queen mating or colony expansion. Customizable Chamber Configuration The Q8 includes three 3mm removable dividers on each side, allowing you to adjust the internal layout to suit seasonal or regional needs: 2-frame overwintering (4 hives per unit) is suitable for milder climates 4-frame overwintering (2 hives per unit) offers greater thermal mass in colder zonesEven with all eight chambers in use, shared warmth between compartments improves colony survival and energy efficiency. Advanced Feeding & Climate Control Every chamber is supported by its own top feeder, capable of holding up to 400ml of syrup plus a protein supplement. Designed with built-in vents, these feeders prevent condensation and fit neatly under the insulated, vented roof. Prevent Drift, Ensure Queen Isolation To prevent bee drift and cross-contamination, each chamber has a color-coded landing board and its own entrance. Queen excluders double as wasp guards, ensuring that each mated queen remains safely confined and that intruders stay out. Transport Made Easy For safe and secure relocation, the landing boards flip up and lock the bees inside. It’s a simple but effective solution for mobile beekeepers or those transporting queens over distance.
