hi everyone can a queen excluder be used at the entrance to the hive to prevent the bees from swarming
No. Drones need to pee too and they can't cross an excluder.

Nice reply Scott. Joel.
thanks for the reply scott, i see what you mean i think i be leaving the excluder off
I use them to house a swarm for a couple of days to prevent them from absconding, but then take them off. I learned that adding a frame of brood to a swarm catch works just as well
