Nucleus Hives are a important part of both beginning and advanced Beekeeping.
If you get bees from a local beekeeper like us you will need one or two of these for him to start your bees in. Once
your bees are started good in your nuc with a laying queen, this small hive design allows you to take it home
and transfer the started bars into your larger hive. Local raised bees in a Nuc hive rarely fail like stressed out mailed
bees. Once your main hive is prospering you can use your Nuc to make splits or in other words start new hives. Simply
pull some brood bars and a honey bar from you main hive and put it in a Nuc and in a few weeks you will have a new hive
of bees started for free. the five top bars are a little different than the picture. We now offer one piece waxed/splined
top bars other than the notched ones in the photo. This saves you the step of adding splines and waxing.
All our
Nucs come with the very important observation window and are made entirely out of solid pine. Default color is Blue.
If you wish another color let us know. We have Blue, White, Green or unfinished wood filled and sanded ready for your own
paint.
