Designed specifically for our new 12 Frame Poly Hives, this queen excluder is precision-made to provide a perfect fit. It sits neatly within the hive rebate and rests securely on top of the brood frames, preventing the queen from entering the honey supers while allowing worker bees to move freely between boxes.
Manufactured for durability and ease of use, this excluder ensures correct bee spacing and reliable performance throughout the season. It is exclusively compatible with our new 12 Frame Poly Hive design and is not suitable for other hive types or previous poly hive models.
Key Features:
- Designed exclusively for our new 12 Frame Poly Hives
- Fits securely within the hive rebate

The feeder features a two-chamber design:
a larger chamber for filling with syrup or feed
a narrow access chamber that allows bees to move safely while reducing the risk of drowning

12 Frame National Poly Super
12 Frame National Poly Super Box (Rebated)
Our rebated 12 Frame National Poly Super Box has been designed to combine durability, functionality, and an attractive modern appearance.

- External dimensions: 490 mm × 490 mm
- Ergonomic recessed handholds on two sides
- Central front entrance for improved bee access to honey supers
