Harvest Lane Honey 202462 Qep-102 Excluder Queen Plastic

A queen excluder is meant to keep the queen confined to the lower hive boxes so she doesn't lay eggs in the honey supers meant only for honey. This excluder sits between the top brood box and the first honey super. It's small enough for the worker bees to get through but will not allow the queen to pass through.

At Harvest Lane Honey, we make our excluders from molded plastic for better quality and for seamless use with 10 Frame Langstroth hives. Place the Plastic Queen Excluder between honey and brood chambers to prevent the queen from laying eggs in honey. The excluder will also allow you to find the queen easily on hive inspections. Do not add until the brood is established. Made of flexible durable plasticUsed to restrict the queens laying area, while the queen is unable pass through openingsThe other bees in the hive are able to pass through due to their smaller sizeUse between the top brood box & the medium honey superInstall only after the honey super has been drawn out.
