Used queen excluder, ready for re-homing. Pulled from one of our own apiaries — it's been on a hive, and it shows. The wire grid is straight, the frame's intact, and there's a bit of wax and propolis on it from the bees who lived with it. We left it that way on purpose.
If you've ever moved a colony into brand-new gear, you know what happens — the bees treat it like a stranger's house. A used excluder smells like home. The wax cap residue and propolis tells your bees this is hive equipment, not a foreign object. They walk through it instead of fighting it. Faster acceptance, less stress on the colony.
Honest condition: clean, no rust, no broken wires, no warping. It's used. It's not pretty. It works better than new for what it's for.
Local pickup at the Honey House preferred. Beekeeper-to-beekeeper.
