10-Frame Metal Queen Excluder with Timber Surround

Combine a traditional timber edge with metal queen-excluding mesh using the 10-Frame Timber-Surround Excluder from Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies.

This framed design sits flush between the brood box and honey super, giving the excluder a more integrated place within the hive stack.

Reduced Edge Gaps

The raw timber surround closes the perimeter around the metal mesh.

This reduces exposed spaces where pests such as small hive beetle may otherwise find small hiding areas.

Timber Provides Thermal Buffering

A wooden surround does not conduct heat in the same way as a completely metal edge.

For beekeepers who already prefer timber hive equipment, the framed style can provide a more consistent material around the hive perimeter.

Queen Exclusion for Honey Production

The inner metal mesh restricts queen movement while allowing workers to access the honey super.

Used above the brood chamber, it can help keep brood out of frames intended for extraction.

Treat the Timber Before Long-Term Use

The surround is supplied raw.

Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies recommends applying an appropriate timber treatment to improve longevity.
