The needle for transplanting larvae is used to move larvae in the production of queens or to obtain royal jelly. It is characteristic of this needle that the transplantation of larvae is performed without prior addition of royal jelly to the bases of the Queen cells, unlike the procedure of working with solid needles when this is necessary.
The larva transplant needle is used to transplant larvae by lowering the elastic part, coming out of the feather, through the wall of the Queen cell until it is under the larva and when it is pulled out and transferred together with the larva. The process itself is simple and safe, having in mind the elasticity of the pen itself and the perforated surface of the housing, which ensures safety in work and handling. The transplant needle has a built-in spring mechanism by which it is possible to remove the larva from the tip of the feather in the last phase of transfer by simple pressure.
