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 deep frames (frames sold separately). Unpainted, fully assembled pine box (lid and bottom not included). Dimensions: About 20"L x 9-1/4"W x 9-1/2"H. Weight: 6-1/2 lb. USA made in Ohio. Note: All components are handcrafted, so dimensions may vary slightly.Are you starting a hive, or adding on to one you already have? We carry a full line of beekeeping essentials, including: Complete beehive kits, stands, super boxes, nuc boxes, frames, feeders, entrance reducers and essential beekeeping tools and supplies. FOR BEST CARE: We recommend any wooden hive component surface exposed to the elements be protected with exterior primer and paint before use. Only prime and paint the outside, not the inside where the bees live.
