BEEXTM Metal Queen Excluder for 10-Frame Langstroth Hive, 2-Pack Plated Steel Durable Fit

BEEXTM's metal queen excluder is a durable, plated-steel 10-frame insert that keeps the queen out of honey supers while allowing worker bees to pass freely.

Built for backyard beekeepers and small commercial operations, this two-pack of 10-frame queen excluders fits standard Langstroth-style hives. Each sheet is made from plated steel and measures approximately 20.1 × 16.14 inches, offering a long-lasting alternative to plastic excluders. Use them to separate brood chambers from honey supers so you can harvest cleaner honey and locate the queen quickly during inspections.

How does this queen excluder protect my honey harvest?

The metal grid physically prevents the larger queen from entering honey supers while worker bees can move through to store nectar and produce honey. That separation keeps brood and eggs out of honey frames, reducing contamination and simplifying extraction.

• Stainless-plated steel construction resists bending and rotting.
• Grid spacing sized to stop queens but permit workers.
• Fits between brood and super boxes for clean honey frames.

Will these fit my 10-frame Langstroth hive?

Yes — each excluder is cut to fit standard 10-frame Langstroth dimensions so it works with most commercially available supers and brood boxes. The design slides into place and remains stable during normal hive activity.

• Size: approximately 20.1 × 16.14 inches per sheet.
• Designed specifically for 10-frame configurations.
• Two-pack provides a spare or an extra excluder for flexible hive management.

How does metal compare to plastic excluders for beekeeping?

Metal excluders offer greater rigidity and longer usable life than plastic alternatives, reducing the chance of warping or damage over repeated use and cleaning. The plated finish helps resist corrosion so the excluder maintains a secure barrier season after season.

• Stronger under hive handling and cleaning than typical plastic models.
• Plated for improved durability and weather resistance.
• Maintains bee passage flow without sagging or deforming.

How should I install and use the BEEXTM queen excluder?

Place the excluder directly between the brood chamber and the honey super to prevent the queen from moving upward into honey frames. During inspections, the open metal grid also makes it easier to spot the queen without disturbing the colony excessively.

• Slide into place between brood and super boxes.
• Inspect periodically to ensure it remains seated and clean.
• Use the second excluder as a backup or in another hive for rotation.

Who is this for: These BEEXTM metal queen excluders suit hobbyists, educators, and small-scale beekeepers who use 10-frame Langstroth equipment and want a reliable, long-lasting barrier to keep brood out of honey supers. If you prefer sturdy metal over plastic and value easy queen location during inspections, this two-pack gives immediate coverage and spare capacity at good value.
