Update 19 Oct 2020: Please see Bee Queen Catcher / Cage V2.0 for the updated version.
So here is my take on a bee queen catcher. The main difference (as compared to most other designs) is that it actually integrates the clothes pin rather than reprinting it. The main focus in the design was on making it really easy to print.
The openings are 4.1 mm to allow for the worker bees to escape. I used two little screws I had lying around but it should work very well without (with 2 drops of glue).
Hope your bees like it. Here is a collection of some of my Beekeeping Designs on Thingiverse.
Enjoy!
