| Product Overview |
| This 5-frame NUC is built from white corrugated plastic, offering a lightweight, water-resistant, and reusable solution for short-term colony management. It includes a deep 5-frame box body with integrated front and rear ventilation and a plastic entrance disc on the front for adjustable access and airflow control. A secure snap-on lid keeps bees contained during transport. Designed for convenience, this NUC is perfect for swarm catching, queen mating, or moving bees between yards. Its compact and sturdy form makes it easy to handle, stack, and clean, while offering the structure needed to safely house a nucleus colony. |
| Important Information About This Product |
| This plastic NUC is meant for temporary use and is ideal for transporting bees, creating splits, or catching swarms. It fits five standard deep frames (not included) and features built-in front and rear vents to maintain airflow, along with a plastic circular entrance disc that allows you to open, close, or regulate the entrance as needed. The white corrugated plastic resists water and helps reflect heat, but it’s not built for extended outdoor exposure – UV rays and long-term weathering will reduce its lifespan. This NUC is not intended for overwintering or permanent setups, and it is not compatible with wooden hive components. |
| Tips for Beginners |
| This 5-frame plastic NUC is an excellent starter tool for anyone learning how to make splits or catch swarms. It’s much lighter than wood, easy to clean, and simple to carry to and from your apiary. Make sure you have five deep frames ready before introducing bees. Always keep the NUC shaded during transport and never leave it in a hot vehicle or direct sunlight, as the plastic can overheat quickly. The entrance disc gives you control over access – rotate it to open, close, or allow only ventilation. Once your bees are established, transfer them to a standard wooden hive for long-term growth. This box is a great addition to your toolkit for managing small colonies. |
