The queen excluder is very useful when it comes time to harvest honey.
The queen will lay eggs only in the brood [broei kas] chamber if she cannot access the super [heuning kas] chamber above when a queen excluder is used to prevent the queen bee from getting through.
The benefit of the queen excluder is that when it comes to harvesting honey from the super chamber there are no eggs or larvae in the honeycomb and ONLY ripe honey is ready for harvesting and filtering.
Together the Bee hive and Queen excluder make a great team!
