Raise Your Own Honeybees Fresh honey, beneficial wax and pollination of crops - there's a hive full of benefits waiting for you. Designed for a small hive (the nucleus colony) in your apiary, this deep nuc box has many uses for the handy beekeeper. Use it to increase populations of a weak hive, to raise new queens (so if your main hive goes queenless, you'll be ready), or to split an overcrowded colony. Each Langstroth-style hive box is carefully handcrafted by an Amish family who raises their own bees, so you'll get a box that lasts and works well. Holds 5 INCLUDED deep frames! Our most durable deep frames feature black heavy waxed plastic foundations, are fully assembled, and ready to use. Less delicate than natural wax foundations, they are easier to handle during honey extraction. Handcrafted and fully assembled of unpainted pine. Box measures about 20"L x 9-1/4"W x 9-1/2"H and each frame measures 9-1/8"H x 19"W x 1-3/8" thick . USA made in Ohio. Note: All components are handcrafted, so dimensions may vary slightly.Are you starting a Langstroth-style hive, or adding on to one you already have in your apiary?
