We use excluders here in central Texas.  They save time in pulling honey;
greatly expedite spring splits--as we have a three medium brood nest that
just requires separating boxes to split--no frame manipulation, and they
limit migration of brood nest thereby insuring mite applications are with
the brood.  We have utilized these advantages into lower labor costs.
