Plastic Queen Excluder Nicot®

Manufactured in France by the renowned NICOT® brand, this queen excluder grid is an essential component for maintaining the quality of honey. Specifically designed for Langstroth and Dadant US 10-frame hives, it fits perfectly with dimensions of 425 x 510 mm. Its construction from high-quality sanitary plastic ensures durability and safe handling.

Key Features:

· Quality Material: Made from semi-rigid recyclable food-grade plastic, it ensures sanitary safety and prevents the formation of cold zones within the hive, unlike metal grids.

· Optimized Design: With fully rounded edges and a smooth surface, it minimizes unwanted constructions and facilitates the safe passage of bees, protecting their wings from potential damage.

· Disease Prevention: By limiting the movement of the queen and the expansion of the brood, this grid helps prevent diseases such as foulbrood, thus improving the overall health of the colony.

· Easy to Clean and Maintain: Supports intense cleaning, including the use of hot water up to 60°C and thermal treatments up to 110°C for deep disinfection.

Key Benefits:

Pure High-Quality Honey: Prevents the queen from laying eggs in the honey supers, ensuring that the honey remains free from brood and retains its purity and delicate flavour.

Simple Installation: Compatible with both wooden and plastic Dadant and Langstroth 10-frame hives, its installation is straightforward and allows for immediate use to optimize hive structure.

Precautions:

Specific Species and Regional Considerations: The use of this grid with black bees in certain regions is advised against, as it may restrict the bees' upward movement into the supers.
