Qem-102 Queen Excluder, Metal, 10 Frame Langstroth

A queen excluder is a metal barrier placed in 10 frame Langstroth hives between the brood and honey chambers. It prevents the queen from laying eggs in the honey super while allowing worker bees to pass freely through its small openings. By restricting the queen's access to the honey storage area, you ensure a cleaner honey harvest and gain a practical aid for locating the queen during routine hive inspections.

The metal construction is built for durability and long-term use in the hive environment. This excluder works with standard Langstroth hive setups and provides immediate queen control once installed at the proper stage of hive development.

Features and Benefits
