Clearance - Plastic Queen Excluder

Clearance - Plastic Queen Excluder is an 8-frame excluder with a slotted grid sized to let worker bees pass while keeping the larger mated queen out. Placed between the brood boxes and the honey supers, it keeps the queen from laying eggs in honey you plan to harvest. This is an older design now on clearance.

Clearance: brand new with standard dimensions, older design, limited amounts available.
