The queen excluder is a special tool to restrict the passage of queen bees. The main function is to limit the queen bee to a certain area of the beehive. For example, after the bee colony develops to a certain size, a honey super will be added, but the queen bee is not expected to lay eggs in the honey super. The queen excluder can be used to restrict the queen bee to lay eggs in the honey super, and the queen excluder can also be used to separate the beehive into two areas to form a double-king colony.
The queen excluder must be selected according to the corresponding bee species. The width between bars of the standard western honeybee queen excluder is 4.14-4.24 mm.
There are different kinds of materials for the queen excluder, the wood queen excluder is more stable, and the plastic queen excluder can be cut to the appropriate size according to the needs.
