The 5 Frame Nuc gives you a much cheaper option than the standard hive for situations such as making up nucs to sell or for mating queens. These nucs are unassembled (see below for assembled option) and begin with a nuc hive body (side handholds included), a simple board with 3/4†strips on top to make an entrance for bottom board, and a simple migratory style lid made of a board with dropped lips front and back. The wood for this nuc is known as commercial grade. Our objective for commercial woodenware is structural soundness. This means there will be no holes or potential holes, splits of great significance (short splits are passed), or milling defects. We attempt to keep knots at least 1-1/2" from nailing areas (ends of box side panels) but make no guarantees. Knots, sometimes rather large, are allowed within the panel and on the edges as long as they are structurally sound. We attempt to turn the best face out and pass it by commercial standards. This means that the inside may have a budget grade appearance. Missing knots on the inside of the edges are permitted as long as half of the thickness of the panel is sound. Though we cannot always get it worked out, we try to miss knots when we put in handholds. Again, there may be as much as 1/16" variation in panel width due to post-milling shrinkage. Note 1: Frames NOT included. See Frames Catagory. Note 2: Nails are NOT included. Many beekeepers use nail or staple guns for assembly. Note 3: We sell "rabbet jointed" hives exclusively! They produce a strong, longer-last joint, leaving minimal engrain exposed to the weather. We can also assemble and/or paint the nuc. Also quantity discounts are available when purchasing 25 nucs or more! Be sure to check out the other items in our Store! We're adding to the inventory daily so it changes often. We also have quantity discounts!! (please look at our rules and privacy policy) |
