I decided to run one of my bee hives with no queen excluder to see how much and how high up the queen will travel. Does it help with the swarming impulse, I don’t know maybe. Let me know in the comments what you think.

Andy is the beekeeper so unfortunately you've got to listen to him on most of the videos but sometimes Kay can be convinced to show an appearance, however Kay is the creative mind behind PYH, creating all of our scented candles, lip balms, moisturiser bars, branding, beeswax wraps, we are constantly expanding the bee products we sell all as natural and sustainably sourced as possible. The bees come first in our little venture as without the bees we would have nothing so no excess honey is removed if Andy thinks it will put the hive at risk, so the honey goes fast!

For any new beekeepers, look into the Rose Hive and method. All same size boxes and no queen excluder

Interesting 👍 hi from central Otago southern New Zealand 👋😃 im running full depth boxes and i love queen excluders myself but i also clean them up completely when i pull my supers off, which i think makes a difference and its a fun winter job cleaning off the burr comb and getting them ready for the honey flow. i have to say i love those frame topbars, theyre much longer than ours and the old NZ langstroth topbars dont have a lot of grab room with gloves on😂 great video 👍👋😃

I run double deep brood boxes on all my hives, and I NEVER USE QUEEN EXCLUDERS. And I also have double deep frames in all my double deep brood boxes, so they are 18.5" deep. And the honey crop on each of those frames are always close to 6" or more, and the queen has never crossed it. So there is no need to queen excluders in my apiary. And yet, more honey comes in. Thx for the video.

I demaree'd a hive and got the queen in the wrong box, luckily all the supers were on wide spacing so she couldn't lay into them. Honey regulations (the law) in the uk state that honey for sale must come from comb which hasn't had brood in.

Horrors 😂 queen in the wrong box on a demaree is problematic 😬 it's interesting that you have that law in the UK, I wasn't aware of that, I'm in southern New Zealand 👋😃 personally I love using queen excluders I run deeps for everything including supers, but I think it's a personal preference thing, and I always clean up my excluders when I take them off, removing all the burr comb, so I don't have any issue with restrictions when I put them on. Interesting comment 👍👋

It refers to broodless comb. Ie comb without brood. There is nothing about the history before that.

Oooh I like this one, contemplating this myself too! Thanks (didn't even watch it yet :))

Great video, nothing like experimenting for yourself. Given the choice I think bees would say no to an excluder every time😊 It's good though for the beekeeper to have a good think why they should (or shouldn't use them). Personally I use them, as I don't really like the idea of extracting honey from frames that might contain eggs, brood etc. Ta for taking the time and effort putting these videos out.

This year, i ran a number of colonies without a queen excluder. Also on Abelo and Timber. Ended up with an empty bottom deep, as the queen moved up the stack, and brood was spread through all boxes. Was a big mess. I'm not doing it again. Had a visit from local seasonal bee inspector. I felt embarrassed as he had to inspect every box, as all had had some brood in them.
