Metal queen excluder with frame 377x420 mm DE

Queen Excluder DE – Metal 377 × 420 mm

Wire metal queen excluder with dimensions 377 × 420 mm is a proven helper in colony management and clean honey production. Its main task is to prevent the queen from passing into the honey super, so she remains in the brood chamber and does not lay eggs in the honey supers. During honey harvest, you work with combs designated exclusively for honey, which simplifies extraction, saves time and contributes to higher hygiene and quality of the final product.

High Passage Rate and Gentle Solution for Worker Bees

The excluder is manufactured with precisely defined spacing that allows safe passage of worker bees, while the queen remains in the brood chamber. Metal wire excluders with rounded wires are among the best passage variants preferred by beekeepers. The smooth surface of the wires is gentle on bees – it reduces the risk of wing damage, minimizes pollen loss from pollen baskets and does not obstruct air flow in the hive. Workers pass through the excluder without unnecessary delay, which supports smooth nectar flow and efficient storage in the honey super.

Recommended Use and Proven German Quality

For proper function, it is advisable not to place the excluder directly on the top bars of frames, but to position it so that bee space is maintained and bees can move freely under the excluder. In practice, the proven rule is that the wires of the queen excluder should be oriented parallel to the top bars. Metal construction provides long service life – after the season you can easily clean it from wax and propolis and the excluder will serve you for many years. This type of precision wire excluder is particularly popular in Germany. We recommend the excluder from German beekeeping equipment supplier Mellarius for both beginning beekeepers and professional operations.
