Can drones pass through a queen excluder? If so what size hardware cloth would I need if I wanted to only allow workers to pass through?
Thank you.

Honeybees are given a safe haven. Humanely, respectfully, lovingly kept and cared for. I do this because I love the honeybees and see them as an essential part of the web of life. The bees needs come first.

No, drones can't pass thru.

#5 is the largest that will only allow workers through and not queens or drones. Workers can squeeze through #6 but it's a lot of work. #7 (if it's straight) will keep workers in.
