Reasons for fixing of a queen excluder in a beehive

• It helps to confine the queen to lay eggs only in the brood chamber leaving the supers only for honey storage
• It ensures clean honey in the supers free from brood
• Wax harvested is clean
• It allows honey harvesting without much disturbance to the queen and the brood
• It encourages the queen to lay more eggs thus increasing the bee population and honey production.
