Cleaning Queen Excluders Ready For The Beekeeping Season.
In this video I show you how we clean Queen excluders at our honey farm. Queen excluders are an important part of the beehive. It stops the queen the bee from laying eggs in the honey supers and spoiling your honey crop!
After a season the queen excluders gets full of beeswax and propolis and stops it working as effective as it should be. Leaving a lot of beeswax on old queen excluders can be a disease risk too. So its always good practise to clean them down before every season.
In this video we use a hot pressure washer or steam washer. It does a fantastic job and makes light work of this sticky job!
