About

 I’m Dan Long and I LOVE beekeeping! I started back in 1996 but have only been really serious about it since 2011 when we moved our business and family to Athens, Georgia USA. I am a Georgia Master Beekeeper and was honored to be elected State Beekeeper of the Year in 2022.

I was President of our local club for six years and have spoken to clubs and state association meetings for a long time, too. I manage a few dozen colonies for honey, pollen and nuc production as well as queens.

I've been raising queens for my own hives, nuc production and for sale, mostly using JZBZ cell cups. Like many of you, I struggled to make the hair roller and other cages work, with mixed success. I’ve always been a “maker” and got into 3D printing a few years ago. There are dozens of cool designs for beekeeping available to online print but my favorite thing to do is dream up my own, based on real needs. The EZPZ Queen Cage is the result of a long journey of prototyping and testing with ideas and support of beekeepers like you along the way. 

The product line has matured to include a full queen rearing kit and several accessories to make your job easier. There are also several other beekeeping related tools available.

In 2024, I upgraded the "Printer Farm" with faster, more accurate machines that also work better with higher quality materials. This improves the fit and finish of the equipment and also makes them more durable!

I hope you find all of the EZPZ line as useful as I do!
