BeeMax Nuc (No Hardware)

These rugged, easy-to-handle polystyrene nuc boxes are perfect for making early or late splits, transferring colonies, or increasing your apiary’s size easily.

This nuc box does require some prep before it is ready to use. An entrance hole should be drilled, as well as ventilation holes. We drill and screen a vent hole on both ends and recommend using a Betterbee Hive Portal and an Entrance Shim to reinforce the entrance.

Our BeeMax line of polystyrene hive components add an extra layer of protection for your bees through added insulation. With an R-value of 6.5 (versus a value of 1 or less in a wooden box), colonies in BeeMax equipment spend less energy maintaining the temperature in the hive, leaving them more time to do the important things – brood production, food collection, etc.
