Queen clip

In beekeeping, a queen clip is a small spring-loaded metal or plastic clamshell-shaped clip designed to pick up or contain a queen bee. It has slits in its sides that worker bees can pass through to attend to the queen's needs or to receive queen substance but the queen bee cannot pass through.

When empty, it can be clipped onto some convenient place such as the edge of the beekeeper's lapel.
