Used to transport a single queen bee. A marshmallow or sugar paste is placed in the hole at the end of the cage, if using paste be sure to allow it to dry before use. A cotton ball soaked with honey or sugar syrup is placed in the small caged end. Once the queen is placed inside, the lid is pressed in place and the four small posts are smashed down with a hot object to permanently seal the cage.
