Wood-Bound Metal Queen Excluder
A metal queen excluder bound in a wooden frame for extra rigidity. The wood edge keeps the grid flat and adds a bee space, so the excluder won't sag or stick to the frames below.
Features
- Metal grid in a solid wood frame — resists warping and bending.
- Built-in bee space reduces burr comb on the excluder.
- Fits standard Langstroth equipment — choose 8 or 10 frame.
How it works
Place it between the brood box and honey super. The framed grid passes workers while keeping the queen below, and the wood rim holds it flat over years of use.
Before you order
Choose 8 frame or 10 frame to match your hive body.
