FIEM Queen Cell Transport Box — 12V Portable Incubator for Moving Queen Cells | Made in Italy
The FIEM Trasportino Celle Reali (Royal Cells Portable Unit) is a 12V transport incubator built for queen breeders who need to move developing queen cells safely — between out-apiaries, to mating yards, or to customers — without losing the stable temperature those cells depend on. Manufactured by F.I.E.M. SRL of Italy, beekeeping incubator specialists since 1975, it's exclusively available in the UK from Gwenyn Gruffydd.
Built for Queen Breeders on the Move
Queen cells are at their most vulnerable in the days before emergence, and a cold car boot or a hot dashboard can undo weeks of careful grafting in a single journey. The FIEM transport box solves this by keeping cells at a stable, controlled temperature throughout the trip — whether you're running between out-apiaries, ferrying grafted cells to a finishing colony, or delivering ripe cells and queens to customers.
This makes it a natural companion for:
- Queen breeders managing multiple apiary sites or mating yards
- Anyone collecting grafted cells from an out-apiary for finishing elsewhere
- Beekeepers delivering queen cells or queens to customers
- Mobile queen rearing operations without easy access to mains power
Key Features
- Digital thermoregulator, adjustable in tenths of a degree Celsius for precise temperature control on the move
- Small internal fan for even temperature distribution throughout the cabinet
- Insulated structure — 20mm panels with polystyrene core and PVC covering
- Powered via 12V car cigarette lighter socket or a 12V battery — works anywhere, even off-grid
- Optional 220–240V mains power adapter available for use at home or in the apiary
- 2 cell-holder foam trays included as standard
- Compact enough to sit comfortably on a car's passenger seat — seatbelt it in for extra security while driving
- Electrical components compliant with CEE safety regulations

- As a general practice, match the thermoregulator to whatever temperature your cells have been incubated at (commonly 33.3°C / 92°F for queen cells) to avoid thermal shock during transit

Yes, if you ever move cells between sites. A stationary incubator holds cells at the apiary or workshop, but this transport unit is purpose-built for the journey itself — running from your car's 12V socket so cells stay at a stable temperature en route, rather than fluctuating in a cool box or on the dashboard.
No assembly required. Plug into a 12V car socket or battery, set the thermoregulator, and load your cell-holder trays.
Wipe the interior and trays with a damp cloth after use. Store somewhere dry when not in use.
