Queen Excluder Entrance Guards
Entrance-mounted guards that double as a queen excluder at the hive door. The slotted metal strip lets workers come and go but keeps the queen from leaving — handy for stopping a swarm from absconding or holding a queen in a new hive.
Features
- Slotted guard passes workers and blocks the queen and drones.
- Mounts over the entrance — no need to open the hive.
- Sized for 5, 8, or 10 frame hive entrances.
How it works
Tack the guard across the entrance. Foragers pass freely while the queen stays inside, which helps hold a newly hived swarm or package until it settles.
Before you order
