Detailed explanation-1: -A queen excluder is a barrier placed between the brood chamber and the honey super that allows only worker bees to pass through while blocking off the queen and drones .

Detailed explanation-2: -Entrance reducers are barriers placed at the entrance to a beehive that restrict the size of the opening. Although usually made of wood, they also come in metal or plastic. Many entrance reducers-especially wooden ones-give you a choice of two entrance sizes. Others have just one size.

Detailed explanation-3: -The usual purpose of a queen excluder is to keep the queen from laying eggs in the honey supers. Until your bees draw out most of the frames in the brood boxes, you have no use for honey supers and, therefore, no use for a queen excluder.
