R170.00
This galvanised sheet fits between your brood box and super to keep the queen bee in the brood box so she doesn’t lay eggs on your honey frames. It also protects your queen bee when you are harvesting honey. Optional but recommended.

- This device is usually placed on top of the brood box or on the first super, depending on the beekeeper’s management strategy.
