FIEM Queen Bee Incubators

Professional Queen Rearing Starts with Professional Equipment

For queen breeders, timing and consistency are everything. Whether you're producing a handful of replacement queens or running a commercial queen-rearing programme, maintaining the correct temperature and humidity during emergence is essential.

That is why we are proud to be the exclusive UK distributor of FIEM Queen Bee Incubators.

Designed and manufactured in Italy, this range of FIEM incubators has been developed specifically for queen bee rearing, providing accurate environmental control to help maximise successful queen emergence and give breeders greater flexibility during the queen-rearing season. 

Why Choose FIEM?

Unlike many adapted poultry or reptile incubators, FIEM models have been purpose-built for apiculture.

Their incubators are engineered specifically for:

• Queen cell incubation

• Stable temperature control

• Consistent airflow

• Accurate humidity monitoring

• Reliable operation throughout the queen-rearing season

Professional queen breeders rely on predictable conditions, and FIEM equipment has been designed with exactly that in mind.

✅ UK stock (where available)

More Than Just an Incubator

One feature that sets FIEM apart is its versatility.

Many models can be used for:

• Queen bee incubation

• Drying pollen

• Gently liquefying crystallised honey at controlled temperatures

This makes a FIEM incubator a valuable investment for beekeepers who produce more than just queens.

Precision Where It Matters

Successful queen emergence depends upon maintaining stable conditions.

FIEM incubators include features such as:

• Digital temperature control

• Forced air circulation for even heat distribution

• Accurate temperature monitoring

• Humidity monitoring with optional automatic humidification

• Insulated cabinet construction

• Internal lighting for easy inspection

• Adjustable shelving options on selected models

The latest models feature FIEM's MINI LED Advanced controller, capable of maintaining temperature accuracy to approximately ±0.1°C, helping create ideal conditions throughout the incubation period.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are FIEM incubators only suitable for professional queen breeders?

No. They are suitable for anyone producing queens, from experienced hobbyists to commercial breeders. Different sizes are available depending on the number of queen cells you intend to incubate.

Why use a dedicated queen bee incubator?

Using an incubator allows sealed queen cells to complete development under carefully controlled conditions. This can improve flexibility during queen rearing and makes it easier to mark queens before introduction into nuclei.

Do you provide support after purchase?

Absolutely. As the exclusive UK distributor, we provide product advice, ongoing support and assistance if you have any questions about your incubator.

Can I order spare parts?

Yes. We can supply many replacement parts and accessories for the FIEM range.

Do I need to import one from Europe?

No. We are the sole UK supplier, allowing you to purchase directly from a UK retailer without dealing with overseas shipping or import procedures.
