Hi, I had bees for about 7 years. It was box and super style. This style intrigues me but how do you keep the brood from the honey? Does it have a queen excluder? Where can I see full plans?

Thanks, Dave

Terry: the follower board just helps the bees keep the hive size manageable when you first install your bees. You keep moving it back as the hive grows and eventually won’t need it if you have a happy healthy hive. Some people don’t even use them.
