This project contains queen and drone excluders for beekeepers. The excluders can be attached to the entrance bars of mating nucs:
-
queen-excluder.stl: Avoids virgin bee queens from leaving the mating nucs (before transporting them to a mating station or before artificial insemination)
-
drone-excluder.stl: Ensures drones cannot enter or leave the mating nucs, thus avoiding a mating station to be contaminated with foreign drones or weakened by taking drones home.
Most stuff is fully customizable in the included OpenSCAD source code. Feel free to adapt as required.
