YARRA BEE COMPANY 10-Frame Metal Queen Excluder 2-Pack — Plated Steel, Rust-Resistant for Langstroth Hives

The YARRA BEE COMPANY 10-frame metal queen excluder (2 pack) keeps the queen out of honey supers so you harvest clean honey without brood.

Whether you run a backyard apiary or manage multiple Langstroth hives, a reliable queen excluder is a simple tool that preserves the quality of your honey supers and streamlines hive management. These fully plated metal excluders are built to fit standard 10-frame Langstroth hives and are designed for long-term use, easy installation, and minimal maintenance.

How does this queen excluder prevent brood in my honey supers?

The excluder uses precisely spaced metal wires that block the larger queen while allowing worker bees to pass through. That separation keeps egg-laying confined to lower brood chambers so honey frames stay free of brood and easier to extract.

• Crimped wire spacing engineered to stop queen movement
• Worker-sized gaps permit normal honey movement and ventilation
• Maintains a clear boundary between brood and honey storage

Will this fit my hive and how do I install it?

This product is sized for standard Langstroth 10-frame hives (19 3/4" x 16 1/8"). Installation is straightforward — drop the excluder between the brood box and the first honey super or place it under the inner cover depending on your flow. The metal frame design gives it stability so it sits flat and stays in place during inspections.

• Standard 10-frame dimensions for direct compatibility
• Simple drop-in placement — no special tools required
• Stable metal frame prevents warping and shifting

How durable and easy to maintain are these metal excluders?

Made from fully plated metal with crimped wires, these excluders resist rust and bending for repeated seasons of use. Their metal finish wipes clean and can be sanitized quickly after hive work, making them low-maintenance compared with fragile alternatives.

• Plated metal construction resists corrosion and wear
• Crimped wires secured into the frame for extra durability
• Wipe-clean surface suitable for routine hive sanitation
