Queen Rearing Incubator – APICOLTURA Series

The specialized queen rearing incubator from the APICOLTURA series by Fiem has been specifically developed for beekeepers who demand maximum control, safety, and reproducible results in queen breeding.

This professional beekeeping incubator combines three essential functions in one unit:

• Incubation of queen cells

• Gentle pollen drying

• Uniform honey liquefaction

This makes it the ideal solution for breeding operations, professional beekeepers, and ambitious queen breeders.

Controlled Incubation for Strong and High-Quality Queens

The incubator enables the precise continuation of the queen cell development cycle from the fifth day after grafting until just before emergence. During this critical phase, the device maintains stable temperature and humidity conditions, which are essential for queen quality, vitality, and acceptance.

Your benefits in queen rearing:

• Precise planning of the emergence time

• Independence from weather and environmental influences

• Direct removal and marking of queens after emergence

• High acceptance rate when introducing queens within 4 days

This method has proven particularly effective in professional queen breeding.

Multifunctional Incubator for Modern Beekeeping

Premium Pollen Drying

With optional food-grade micro-mesh trays, flower pollen can be dried evenly and gently.
The result: long shelf life, high nutritional quality, and safe storage.

Gentle Honey Liquefaction

Crystallized honey can be liquefied at a constant temperature of 40 °C. Jars or buckets are placed directly inside the incubator, ensuring that aroma, flavor, and valuable enzymes are fully preserved.

Robust Construction for Daily Breeding Use

The APICOLTURA incubator features a durable and practice-oriented design:

• Insulated PVC panels with polystyrene core

• Forced ventilation system with electronic motor fan

• Homogeneous temperature distribution throughout the chamber

• Integrated interior lighting

• Water tray to support humidity

• Flexible interior layout for different breeding methods

Ideal for continuous use in breeding and beekeeping operations.

Precise Control with MINI LED ADVANCED Thermostat

All APICOLTURA models are equipped as standard with the MINI LED ADVANCED thermostat, combining a powerful microprocessor with a self-calibrating temperature and humidity sensor.

In combination with the automatic ultrasonic humidifier, the control unit regulates humidity fully automatically based on measured and preset values. The programmable relative humidity range is 20 to 90% RH, allowing precise adjustment for various breeding and processing requirements.

Control accuracy:

• Temperature: ± 0.1 °C

• Humidity: ± 1.5 %

Thermostat functions:

• ON/OFF temperature control

• 3-digit LED display

• Humidity display and monitoring

• °C / °F switch

• Digital sensor calibration

• Prepared for optional WiFi module for remote monitoring

Optional Accessories for Individual Requirements

The incubator can be customized with optional accessories:

• Wet-bulb hygrometer for precise humidity measurement

• Pre-painted steel shelves for maximum stability

• Professional, adjustable, removable drawers

• External ultrasonic humidifier with automatic control

Operation, Safety, and Reliability

For optimal results, the incubator should be preheated for at least 24 hours before first use.
Recommended temperature for queen cells: 33.3 °C.

The continuously operating ventilation system ensures uniform temperature distribution.
All devices comply with current EEC electrical safety directives. The external control panel reliably protects electronic components from moisture and condensation.

Conclusion: Professional Incubator for the Highest Queen Rearing Standards

The Fiem APICOLTURA incubator is the perfect choice for beekeepers who value consistent quality, maximum control, and professional technology—whether for queen rearing, pollen drying, or honey processing.
