There seems to be a lot of talk about beekeeping without using a queen excluder on the forum at the moment; would any those who have tried it or who are currently using this method be prepared to explain the rudiments of this technique, its advantages and any pitfalls?
I have found an article from the American Beekeeping Journal – August, 1985 by G. W. HAYES, JR titled 'Queen excluder or honey excluder?' on the web which has made interesting reading but I'd be interested to learn more before having a go myself.
