Made from flexible, durable plastic, the excluder features precisely sized openings that worker bees can pass through freely while physically blocking the larger queen. This keeps brood confined to the lower brood box and reserves the honey super for honey production only. Beekeepers and apiary service professionals use this excluder as a standard hive management tool. Each unit is sold as a set of 6 excluders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe QEP-102 is placed between the top brood box and the medium honey super in a Langstroth-style hive configuration. It is suited for residential backyard beekeepers and commercial apiary operations alike. The excluder should be installed only after the honey super has been drawn out by the colony. This ensures bees are already working the super before the queen is restricted from entering, encouraging continued comb use without abandonment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlexible, durable plastic construction resists cracking during seasonal hive inspections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrecisely sized openings allow worker bees to pass freely while blocking the queen\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRestricts queen laying area to the brood box, keeping honey supers free of brood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for use between the top brood box and the medium honey super\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a 6-pack, providing multiple hive setups from a single order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard replacement or supplemental excluder for use in Langstroth-style hive configurations with a medium honey super placed above the top brood box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall the excluder only after the honey super has been fully drawn out by the colony. Place the excluder flat between the top brood box and the medium honey super with no gaps at the edges that would allow the queen to bypass it. Inspect the excluder periodically for warping or damage that could create unintended gaps. No special tools are required, but standard hive gloves and a smoker should be used during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flexible durable plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HARVEST LANE HONEY\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: QEP-102\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HARVEST LANE HONEY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524837802290,"sku":"QEP-102","price":57.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9dd4a35a79cef038f9d769602c62a432.jpg?v=1785459139","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/harvest-lane-honey-qep-102-plastic-queen-bee-excluder-6-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
