Suggestions for use
Help keep bees protected from wasps, Perimetric frame, Partitions for combination with other vertical dividers (not included) for multiple colonies or other uses.
It is used like all queen excluders, placed between the brood-chamber and the supers.
The doors open and close at will and you can have them applied to the hives during transport.
The perimetric frame makes it possible to use it as a double queen excluder by placing a single excluder on top of it.
Internal partitions offer a guide to be combined with vertical dividers (available separately) to confine the queen even within a frame in order to:
· Treat (e.g. for Varroa) in a controlled brood environment.
· Limit the brood before flowering.
· Multiply colonies.
· Combine it with a common excluder (not included) in the upper part to turn into a double excluder. So, you have one queen up and one on the bottom.
· Combine it with a common excluder for multiplication: In this case you do the same thing as the vertical divider, but you put the entrances of the excluder facing the opposite side from the doors of the brood-chamber.
No dividers or partitions are provided with the QE, which in may case renders them useless. The Item Description: Queen Excluder with Two Entrances protected from wasps, Perimetric frame, Partitions for combination with vertical dividers for multiple colonies or other uses. Maybe my fault, but it reads to me that it comes complete.
I'm not impressed with the QE at all especially as the upper entrance gates are so flimsy. I think that they will soon snap off. In the past I have bought QE with integrated entrance gates that are really strong and very unlikely to break. They are still as good as new after many years.
