Description
A nuc (short for nucleus colony) is a small colony made up of a few thousand bees, all centered on a queen. EZ Nuc boxes are perfect for raising queens, transferring colonies, splitting colonies, and even catching swarms. Having a nuc can give you a more solid foundation for a colony than you might get with packaged bees. 5-frame, deep nuc box. Corrugated. Helps with catching swarms.

I recently ordered 4 plastic corrugated Nucs. I knew they would be unassembled but they didn’t come with any directions! They are hard to bend and assemble. I called Mann Lake and a rep emailed me two pages of assembly directions. It was still hard. I do love the Nucs though. They are sturdy and water repellent and my bees seem to love them.
Arrived bent and not bee escape proof.
Picked up nucs in these, and they were great. Bee tight and reusable.
I ordered a couple of these and they didn’t come with any assembly instructions. Online videos are a bit helpful, but it was a huge pain to assemble coming from someone who usually enjoys IKEA builds and similar. Additionally, one of the nucs was not pre-creased at all, making all of the 30 or so folds much more difficult. I think I will go for a different nuc next time.
