Hello friends,
 
I'm just a backyard amateur, 2 hives...had up to 6 in Canada a few years ago.
I took a classroom course to get started, then a "beeyard" course later to
really
experience beekeeping (when the book says "shake the nuc into the hive", YOU
JUST
GOTTA DO IT FOR YOURSELF TO BELIEVE IT! :-)
 
Anyway...subject line is the question...my "beeyard" instructor grumped at queen
excluders and said "they oughta be called 'honey excluders'...(grumble
grumble)."
 
Can I solicit feedback from you all? Agree, disagree?
 
When to use it? Special circumstances?
 
Thanks
 
Ed
