ABSTRACT:
A bee-shipping container comprising an elongated, hollow, imperforate-walled tube being open at both ends, a plug for each end, wherein each plug comprises a perforated disc having a thickness sufficient to substantially reduce visibility of the bees and prevent handlers from being stung through the disc, and at least one protruding member extending away from the disc and longitudinally beyond the outer extremity of the tube to butt against any external flat surface which inadvertently comes into contact with the plug, thereby to maintain direct communication between the disc and ambient air surrounding the tube whenever such contact is made.
