• Long-lasting performance – Rust-resistant finish ensures years of reliable use

Why Use a Queen Excluder?

A queen excluder is essential for producing clean, brood-free honey. By confining the queen to the brood chamber, you prevent her from laying eggs in honey supers. This means your honey frames contain only pure honey and nectar—no brood, pollen, or cocoons. The result is easier extraction, cleaner honey, and more efficient hive management during harvest season.

Premium Metal Construction

Unlike plastic or wire excluders that can warp, sag, or deteriorate over time, this deluxe metal excluder maintains its shape and spacing season after season. The rust-resistant finish stands up to moisture, propolis, and the demanding conditions of active beekeeping. The rigid construction prevents bowing, ensuring consistent spacing that workers can navigate easily while the queen remains excluded.

Optimized for Bee Flow

The precisely engineered spacing allows worker bees to pass through freely without hesitation or congestion. This is crucial for maintaining hive productivity—if bees are reluctant to pass through the excluder, honey production suffers. The deluxe design ensures smooth traffic flow, keeping your foragers moving efficiently between brood chamber and honey storage areas.

Built for Canadian Beekeepers

Designed to endure harsh conditions, this heavy-duty excluder stands up to temperature extremes, moisture, and the rigors of regular hive inspections. The durable construction means you can rely on it year after year, making it a smart investment for serious beekeepers.
