Why Choose a Nucleus Hive Kit?
A nucleus hive (nuc box) is an essential tool in beekeeping. Its smaller size allows bees to regulate temperature and humidity more efficiently, supporting strong brood rearing and colony development.
This twin kit is ideal for:
-
Starting two nucleus colonies
-
Splitting strong hives to prevent overcrowding
-
Housing spare queens (and keeping a second nuc ready as backup)
-
Growing nucs into full-sized production colonies
By bundling the nuc boxes, frames, and foundation together, this kit removes common setup mistakes and ensures all components are compatible.
Designed for Beginners, Trusted by Experienced Beekeepers
For new beekeepers, this kit simplifies setup by providing the correct frame size and foundation in one go.
For experienced beekeepers, it’s a practical, cost-effective way to add nuc capacity without paying inflated prices.
We focus on good-quality beekeeping equipment at sensible prices, because beekeeping shouldn’t be unnecessarily expensive.
