Queen Excluders / Koningin Uitsluiters / Seperators
Queen excluders are used to keep the queen bee from being able to lay inside the super chamber where the honey is stored.
Beehive & Queen Excluders
The queen excluder is sold separately to the beehive and is very useful when it comes time to harvest honey.
The queen bee 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.

All of our beehives are treated with Waksol which is natural weather protection and also acts as a honeybee attractant when placed in direct sun. Within 2 -3 days in a bee-friendly area, you should have a new colony move into one of our beehives in the spring/summer season! Weight as it stands = 17kg
All beehive frames are wired and have wax strips. The lid is actually covered with aluminum sheeting. The PIC above is before the final product is complete.
