The divider board is used in the Beehaus to split it into two hives, which can be used for starting a second colony. You might choose to do this during the Spring, when the queen will be laying more and the bees will be rapidly expanding in number.
This divider board comes in three separate parts, with two inserts to choose from. One insert will make the board complete, while the other acts as a queen excluder. You can use the queen excluder when splitting the colony to prevent the queen from moving to the other side.

no queen excluder on our and a gap at the bottom - Nicola,
There is a gap at the bottom of the Divider Board (which by the way is solid and does not have a removable Queen excluder, not available when we ordered our Beehaus in 2013 I guess?). The bees get under it to the other side and die or mix with the colony on the other side (which is not necessarily a problem?).

Excellent - Kay,
A vast improvement on the Mk 1...we tried every way to make it work, but it just leaked bees. Mk2 has been designed well and manufactured to tight tolerances such that our very full and vibrant new colony has not found a way to get through.
