Greetings to all
Why is using a queen excluder on the top of the brood nest considered
good beekeeping and using one on the bottom of the brood nest considered
poor beekeeping. The affect is the same, restriction of the queens
movements. My op ion, if I though for a moment that I would lose a hive
to swarming. I would slap an excluder down there so fast that the queen
wouldn't know what hit her. Force her to fight for her reign and may the
strong survive. Am I wrong?
