The HiveIQ Base & Lid Kit with Queen Excluder includes the bottom board, queen excluder, and top cover of the HiveIQ insulated hive system. Made from high-density EPS, the pieces provide strong insulation in summer and winter and share Langstroth external dimensions, though they fit HiveIQ boxes (not standard Langstroth boxes) while using Langstroth frames.
