Our standard wooden reducer has 2 different sized openings that can be used throughout the year for different applications.  You need one of these for every hive.

 

   

Metal Queen Excluder          $10.00 ea.

 These metal excluders do not have a metal frame around them.  They have  very strong cross pieces that hold the wires perfectly in place and suspends them above the hive body.  With this excluder you will get the correct bee space.

 

   

Wooden Bound Queen
Excluder                               $15.95 ea.


 The quality of this wooden bound excluder is unmatched.  The wire grids  are exactly spaced due to the drilled cross wires and the wooden rim is
 tightly jointed and secure.  To maintain proper bee space, the edges of the metal excluder are bent slightly before entering the wood rim.  The flat side  goes down.

 

   

Plastic Queen Excluder        $4.25 ea.

 This plastic queen excluder is plastic injection moulded.  It lays flat on the  frames and the bees pass easily through it.  This low cost option is easy to clean and superior in strength and durability.

 

   

Frame Spacer                     $5.50 pkg.
           (10 count)

 Frame spacers accurately space 9 frames in 10 frame supers.  This makes uncapping honey a breeze as the cappings protrude beyond the edges of the frames and your knife will cut off solid sheets of cappings and not  leave low areas.

 

   

English Copper Top            $49.95 ea.

 This beautiful English Copper Telescoping Top will turn your hives into  yard art.  A perfect accent to your flower or vegetable garden.
