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 188 reviewsGreat value in comparison with other sellers.
Well made leather section of the glove, soft and comfortable. The 3 layer forearm protection has a tighter fit at the opening so no bees can work their way under. Happy so far.
Great value jacket. Seems to be very robustly made and well put together. Quality feel to the garment.
Good quality and perfect fit. Thanks
Good quality stitching
Outstanding quality overall. The order arrived fast, and the embroidered logo features clean, durable stitching at the perfect size.
Fast free delivery highly recommended🐝
Excellent suit. Great air flow.
5 year beekeeper, starting to understand this beekeeping malarkey. I worked out that I don't need a full suit every time I go to the apairy as some of the jobs are 2-3 minutes at each hive. Decided to get a jacket as quicker to put on and off and not as hot. This works. Full protection, good zips and tight waistband. For the price it's amazing. It will get some use.
Excellent jacket, the third one I’ve bought of this design. Having worn both styles of veil, for ladies I think the fencing one sits better and doesn’t flop around as the other sort.
Great company and prompt delivery at a good price. Definitely recommend.
Fantastic quality from AGS.
I personally have used their gear for around 7 years and haven't ever received 1 sting whilst in them.
Over the last couple of years the whole family has switched over.
The triple layer is breathable, hard-wearing and super protection. The suit is substantial but also light enough to work in all day comfortably.
Plenty of pockets all where needed.
I highly recommend this suit and AGS on the whole.
Exceptionally good suit and value for money
Great suit, does exactly what it says on the tin
Great quality and value for money!
I like the jacket and much prefer the round hat to the fencing veil. I think I ordered a size bigger than I needed as I have long arms, but it's fine. Definitely cooler than a cotton suit!
