New easy queen excluder cleaning.

[@user-mi4fj9rq7v]

That's a great setup for a commercial outfit. For smaller outfits i suggest a heat gun for metal queen excluders.

Mr Phil. Would putting them on a rack over small fire pit work without damaging the excluders?

[@philbeeman]

I once bought excluders which I later learned had been overheated. The wires were all warped and let the queens through. Don’t make that mistake.

Great idea! I’ve used steam and boiling in a 55 gal drum over a fire. Both worked very well. I’ve never heard of adding live steam to the extractor. I guess it doesn’t raise the moisture that much? Thanks for the video!

I find the water bath leaves a coating of wax that encourages the bees to re-fill the excluders with wax.

wow! that would probably also work for cleaning old frames with brood comb.

Great idea!

Hi Phil. Could you comment a link to the steam generator? I might build one as well
