The nuc box, also called a nuc, is a smaller version of a normal beehive, designed to hold fewer frames. The nuc box is smaller than a hive because it is intended to contain a smaller number of honeybees.
A smaller space makes it easier for the bees to control the temperature and humidity of the colony, which is vital for brood rearing.
A nucleus colony can be used to stop overcrowding in a larger, healthy colony by splitting some of the population off to a new colony.
A nuc can also be used to care for spare queens. A nuc can also grow into a full-sized colony, given proper time, favourable weather, and appropriate resources.

from 174 reviewsWhen i first started beekeeping I used a Jacket & Trousers combo. This was getting a bit worn so - after a bumper spring harvest/sales of OSR honey - I decided to treat myself to a full body suit and went for the Pro Series. While getting a full 3 layer suit on takes a bit more time, its worth the effort. Having thoroughly inspected 3 hives, I've never felt so safe. The design tips the hood well forward and away from your face...and the front opening drop-down face mesh panel is really useful. You can dispense with wearing anything much under the suit, as the 3 layer thickness effectively protects you from stings. You're therefore kept much cooler and can comfortably work on for long. Great product !
Thank you for the foundation sheets.
They were very good!
This suit is much lighter than wearing a heavy cotton jacket. I ordered my husband a size up and I’m pleased I did as it’s a perfect fit for him wearing clothes underneath. Material is of great quality and the price is outstanding for this type of suit. I will buy again from this store. Very very pleased.
Works very well, very comfortable and high quality.
Excellent value for money, fits well - just what a beekeeper needs!
very comfortable and well made, arrived very quickly.
Excellent value just waiting for the swarm to move in!
Haven’t used it yet, though is really good quality item. Was really surprised at the quality considering the price point.
As usual great quality, carefully packed and delivered promptly. Happy to recommend AGS.
i'm 6ft 1 and bought a 3XL, which fits nicely. Have worn suit a few times and feels and now used to putting it on. Feels like it's well made, comfortable and i particularly like the fencing hood which you can open. As ever, great service from AGS
Very good suit. Well made, robust. Heavy but once it's on, that doesn't notice. Love the pockets.
Perfect be space and kinder for the bees than the plastic grid.
