A six frame nucleus with a marked and laying queen, with brood in all stages on at least 3 frames. These bees are not imported and are supplied on BS brood frames in our custom designed British Standard polystyrene nucleus - and when you rhome you bees to a full size hive the box is ideal for collecting swarms, splitting colonies etc. These frames are compatible with National and WBC hives.
Our new polystyrene Nucleus Hive holds 6 BS brood frames, for National and WBC hives, and comes complete with a built in Feeder. It has an open mesh floor to help with varroa control and to help with ventilation during transit. Comes with 4 feet to keep the hive off the ground.
Polystyrene is a great material for beehives:
Its made from a very high density material, 100g/litre - upto 3 times stronger than what is used for packaging.
Its lightweight and durable.
Its insulation properties also makes it especially suitable for nucs and small colonies as less bees are required to maintain the heat required for effective brood rearing.
