>I bout 5 metal 8 frame queen excluders, today I am told by the Apiary man that I need more room at the top and he said that the wood bound wood be better for my hives..
I don't use excluders much except in queen rearing, but when I do use them I prefer a wood bound because of the beespace on the top. However, I don't know of anyone selling eight frame ones. If you find one let us know.
