Queen Excluder Entrance Guards 5 Frame
Secure your queen without restricting your workforce. The 5 Frame Nuc Wooden Queen Excluder with Metal Grid is designed to prevent the queen from exiting the nuc while allowing worker bees to move freely in and out of the hive.
5 Frame Nuc Wooden Queen Excluder – Entrance Style
Specifically built for standard 5-frame Langstroth nuc boxes, this entrance-mounted excluder provides reliable queen containment during mating, transport, or colony management.
Unlike plastic-only guards, this model features a solid wooden frame combined with a precision metal excluder grid, delivering superior durability and long-term performance.
Strong Timber Frame for Stability
The wooden surround provides strength and rigidity, helping the excluder sit securely against the nuc entrance. Timber construction reduces flexing and ensures a consistent fit over time.
Precision Metal Excluder Grid
The integrated metal grid is engineered with accurate spacing that allows worker bees to pass freely while preventing the larger queen from exiting. This makes it ideal for:
- Mating nucs
- Queen rearing operations
- Nuc transport
- Swarm control in small colonies
Why Choose Wood & Metal?
Wood and metal construction offers greater longevity compared to all-plastic models. The metal grid maintains consistent spacing and resists wear, while the wooden frame provides structural strength and easy attachment.
