A nucleus hive, or "nuc," is a smaller version of a standard beehive, specifically designed to accommodate a reduced number of honeybees. This compact space allows the bees to more efficiently control the internal temperature and humidity, which is crucial for successful brood rearing and rapid colony growth. Nuc boxes are versatile tools for beekeepers:
-
Colony Splitting: Use to alleviate overcrowding in larger, healthy colonies by establishing a new, separate colony.
-
Queen Rearing/Storage: Ideal for housing and nurturing spare queen bees.
-
Starter Colony: A nuc can serve as a perfect foundation for a new colony, which can eventually grow into a full-sized hive with proper management and resources.
Please note glue, frames, wax foundation or bees are not included.

Let customers speak for us
from 177 reviewsExcellent service and great quality product! I'm very happy with my 3-layer ventilated suit - no more stings and much cooler in the warm weather.
Fantastic Suit. Loved it so much this is my second. First suit still going strong but wanted a spare. Easy to order, great price and fast delivery.
Great jacket and a really good price, feel protected and well ventilated. Prompt delivery thank you.
When 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!
