Queen excluder is a mesh inside the beehive that allows worker bees to move but prevents the larger queens to access the honey super, so they can only lay eggs in the brood chamber.
Section super of a beehive is a part of a commercial beehive that is used to collect honey. It is filled with frames in which honeycombs are placed. Bees use honeycombs as storageroom.
The inner cover of a beehive protects the frames and inside of a hive, as well as the bees and their products. Inner cover insulates the hive.
Outer cover of a beehive is placed over the topmost part of a hive, it protects the hive from rain, snow, dust and any other external factors.
Dadant-Blatt hive provides a large, deep brood chamber with plenty of room in which the queen could lay, and shallower supers for honey storage.
Langstroth hive is a hive in which bees build honeycomb into easily movable frames. It is the most used hive today since it is built to collect honey very easily.
