6 Frame Jumbo Langstroth Poly Nucleus Hive: This one is built like a proper hive with a separate floor, varroa mesh, a hive body and a roof all interlocking for security and strength.

Our Polystyrene (Poly) hives offer exceptional thermal performance and durability whilst maintaining an ergonomic design. This means a higher honey production compared to wooden hives but with minimal weight. 

A complete high-density polystyrene (EPS) Langstroth hive from leading manufacturer Paradise Honey consisting of:-

Contains:
Nucleus roof
Nucleus floor
Nucleus jumbo Body
2 x Entrance reducers

2.5m Hive Strap
Varroa mesh
Screw pack


Please note:- Nucs do not come with a divider board  - these are available to purchase separately. 

Identical to the Langstroth nucleus hive but built to take jumbo Langstroth or Dadant frames. 

A set of instructions for the nuc box can be downloaded here.

Food for thought: a six-frame jumbo langstroth nucleus hive has almost the same volume as a bs national brood chamber and given that in a polystyrene hive, the queen can be expected to use all the frames, unlike in a wooden hive where the outer frames tend to be ignored because of temperature fluctuations the "effective" brood volume in this hive is probably greater than a bs national. 

Unlike virtually all other nucleus boxes available, this one is built like a proper hive with a separate floor, varroa mesh, a hive body and a roof all interlocking for security and strength.

The design features a hard plastic ledge for the frames to sit in which will ensure long life and prevent damage when propolis is scraped off. Supplied as a flat pack with full instructions for easy assembly. 

A very valuable design feature is the ability to split the hive into two 3 frame nucleus hives through the use of a Central Division Board (purchased separately) and the two entrances, one at each end of the floor. In normal use, one entrance is closed off with a plastic entrance reducer and the other is reduced in height.

As with our hives, the roof is reversible so when fitted with a cut-down propolis screen the nuc will be perfectly prepared for transport with no danger of the bees overheating because of ventilation through the varroa floor and propolis screen.
