Opponents of the use of queen excluders claim that excluders lower honey quality, influence colony dynamics, and alter labour dynamics. A 2024 study found that queen excluders had no effect on colony dynamics, and did not reduce honey yield nor the amount of brood produced. Studies on honey quality and labour dynamics are ongoing.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Bundschuh |first=Jana |last2=Rappel |first2=Herbert |last3=Bock |first3=Andreas |last4=Balleisen |first4=Ute |last5=Daiser |first5=Markus |last6=Friedmann |first6=Günter |last7=König |first7=Werner |last8=Miltenberger |first8=Tobias |last9=Müller |first9=Manuela |last10=Müller |first10=Robert |last11=Poeplau |first11=Norbert |last12=Roosen |first12=Alix |last13=Schlotter |first13=Alexander |last14=Sedlmair |first14=Christian |last15=Weiler |first15=Michael |date=February 2024 |title=Effects of queen excluders on the colony dynamics of honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) under biodynamic management |url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/s13592-023-01041-9 |journal=Apidologie |language=en |volume=55 |issue=1 |doi=10.1007/s13592-023-01041-9 |issn=0044-8435|doi-access=free }}</ref>
