Ideal for both beginners and experienced beekeepers, these cups are a core component of any queen rearing setup.

Key Benefits

  • Designed for Nicot non-grafting queen rearing systems
  • Allows direct egg laying by the queen
  • Consistent size for uniform queen cells
  • Durable, reusable plastic construction
  • Suitable for hobbyist and commercial beekeepers

What Are Nicot Cell Cups?

Cell cups are small plastic cups used in queen rearing to hold eggs or larvae. In the Nicot system, the queen lays directly into these cups, which can then be transferred to cell bars where the colony raises new queens.

This method removes the need for grafting and improves consistency in queen production.

This pack contains 100 original Nicot cell cups, ideal for regular use or expanding your queen rearing operation.

How They Work

  1. Insert the cups into the Nicot Cupularve grid
  2. The queen lays eggs directly into the cups
  3. Once larvae develop, cups are removed
  4. Cups are placed into cell cup holders on a frame
  5. Colonies raise new queen cells

This process simplifies queen rearing and increases success rates.

Who Is This For?

  • Beekeepers using the Nicot queen rearing system
  • Those raising their own queens
  • Beginners looking to avoid grafting
  • Commercial beekeepers producing queens at scale
