10-Frame Injection-Moulded Plastic Queen Excluder

Keep the queen below your honey supers with a lightweight, economical 10-Frame Plastic Queen Excluder from Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies.

Injection moulding creates the complete grid as one plastic component, offering an alternative to traditional welded-wire designs.

Affordable Queen Exclusion

This model is positioned as one of Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies’ most economical queen-excluder options.

It performs the familiar job of restricting the larger queen while worker bees move between the brood chamber and supers.

For new beekeepers or larger apiaries requiring several excluders, plastic can provide a cost-conscious way to equip multiple colonies.

Easy to Clean

Some beekeepers prefer plastic because it is relatively easy to clean.

Wax and propolis can still accumulate, so check openings periodically and remove excessive deposits carefully.

Avoid damaging or warping the plastic during cleaning.

Plastic Does Not Retain Heat Like Metal

The different material changes the way the excluder behaves in warm conditions.

Some beekeepers favour plastic because it does not retain heat in the same way as metal.

Queen-excluder preferences vary widely, so the best option often comes down to personal hive-management style.

10-Frame Fit

This version is made for the wider 10-frame Langstroth box.

Use the matching 8-frame version for narrower equipment.
