Description
Queen Excluders / Koningin Uitsluiters / Separators
Queen excluders are used to keep the queen bee from being able to lay inside the super chamber where the honey is stored.
The queen excluder is sold separately to the beehive and is very useful when it comes time to harvest honey.
The queen will lay eggs only in the brood [broei] chamber if she cannot access the super [heuning] chamber above when a queen excluder is used to prevent the queen bee from getting through.
The benefit of the queen excluder is that when it comes to harvesting honey from the super chamber there are no eggs or larvae in the honeycomb and ONLY ripe honey is ready for harvesting and filtering.
We sometimes stock plastic queen excluders as well. Enquire for more info.
We are suppliers of beekeeping in Africa.
