Queen Excluders

Being a beekeeper is a real craft that requires plenty of effort and investment, while also bringing the satisfaction of working with bees. It is also work that delivers the sweetest results.

Beekeeping specialists are constantly developing and creating innovative methods to make apiary work easier, from the simplest tasks to the most demanding. One item that beekeepers consider a reliable helper during the honey flow is the queen excluder.

Beekeeper’s Queen Excluder

The design of a queen excluder resembles a grille with narrow openings.

Beekeepers use a queen excluder during the honey flow to separate the brood area of the hive from the honey section. It is also used for:

• isolating the queen bee in the brood area of the hive;
• protecting drones and queen bees from the bee nest;
• keeping the queen bee inside the hive and helping to prevent swarming.

Beekeepers’ queen excluders differ in the material they are made from, as well as in the spacing of the grille. This means every beekeeper can choose an excluder that suits their needs. Using excluders will not harm the insects in any way. 

Queen excluders are most often used for multi-storey hives.
