Cloake Board

The cloake board is a queen rearing device that allows the hive to be used as a mother-starter-finisher. Designed for use with the Doolittle method, this multi-functional board acts as a mother-starter-finisher, simplifying the entire queen rearing process.

Highlighted Features

· High Quality Steel Grate: Unlike plastic grates that deform over time, our steel grate guarantees durability and effectiveness.

· Metal Separator Plate : Equipped with a galvanized sheet metal plate that effectively separates the breeding chamber from the super, allowing precise control of the breeding environment.

· Ergonomic Design: With dimensions of 430x500 mm, the board fits perfectly between the brood chamber and the super, and includes a hole for easy entry of the bees.

Step by Step Instructions for Use

Day 1: Install the board between the super and the brood chamber without the metal plate. Make sure that both entrances are open.
Day 2: Rotate the brood chamber 180º and close its entrance, forcing the bees to use the entrance on the board.
Day 6-7: Insert the dome-holder frame and the metal plate, separating the chambers and adjusting the spouts as indicated.
Day 8-17: Check the acceptance of the larvae, remove the metal plate and follow the steps for maturation and transfer of the queen cells.

Conclusion: The Cloake Board is the tool every professional beekeeper needs for effective and efficient queen rearing. Its robust design and advanced features make queen rearing easier than ever.
