This 2-in 1 Poly Nuc Box is made by BS in England . The new 6 frame nuc doubles up as a 2-way mating nuc, the feeder has also been designed to be suitable for liquid sugar and solid fondant..
The box not only acts as a single 6 frame nuc, it can also double up as a 2-way mating nuc with the unique divider insert and separate coloured entrances located on each side of the box. This simple yet effective concept allows beekeepers to easily create self-sustaining mating nucs that are from a standardised national frame design. Dividers can also be removed during the winter to unite the colony and reintroduced the following season.
They have also eliminated the use of integrated feeders that cause issues like disturbance to the nest when feeding, brace comb, and drowning bees. This has been replaced by a clever top feeding system, which enables the beekeeper to feed the colony as a 6 frame nuc & as a 2-way mating nuc. The new feeder design also features a removable plug, which can provide access to fondant placed inside the feeder. This allows for a sustainable source of food in the winter & spring, removing any need for space wasting ekes. Offering much better value for money.
This has also reduced the issue of frames being propolised down by incorporating a frame runner, whilst maintaining sufficient top bee space reducing
Queen Rearing Made Simple
Create a perfect queenless environment for cell raising without the complexity of multi-box setups. One side becomes your cell builder, the other continues as your support colony.
Walk-Away Splits Without Guesswork
Split a colony in one box. Both halves have immediate access to drawn comb, stores, and brood. The queenless side raises a new queen while the queenright side continues building.
Controlled Queen Introduction
Run a new queen in one half while the other half continues with the existing queen. Observe both colonies through the same inspection schedule, then combine or keep separate depending on performance.
