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 96 reviewsFinally some comfortable gloves that fit my little hands! Do what they need to do for a good price.

Great suit! Very comfortable in the heat too.

Fantastic product. Amazing value for money

It’s seriously high quality for the price. Theres so many pockets, and the veil and suit material has held up really well. Really well made, and I haven’t been stung through it once yet.

This is a great bee suit. I like the round hat style more than the fencing style . High quality zips and perfect size . Highly recommended.

Was very Impressed with the quality of this product. Recommendation for any bee keeper to buy it

The bee suit is light weight and has room to move about easily. Good quality with double layers of fabric with zips to keep the bees out. Much better than some of the cheaper ones on the market.

Such a good quality suit, very pleased. Fits well, I’m 5’10” so I ordered the XL which allows extra suit and air to keep cool. Plenty of pockets and the fencing style mesh veil is spacious and well supported. Great value I think.

Great product heavy duty but breathable keeps you really coolExcellent value for money

This item was brought as a present. the new owner has said it's perfect.

This is probably the best suit I've ever used as a pest controller I'm doing wasp treatments so need a decent suit and this is it.On the hottest days this summer I was wearing this suit with a jumper underneath just for a little piece of mind and with this being so we'll ventilated I was still comfortable, it feels heavy on delivery but light when wearing it. All in all well worth the money.

Very happy with my purchase. Im size 12, 173cm and i ordered xl. Fits perfectly.Never get stung through. Nice and airy.

Quality product and fantastic value fir money. Great speedy service thanks.
