Detailed Description

The Pro-Nuc – 5 Frame Deep Plastic Nucleus Hive is a multi-purpose solution for beekeepers needing a reliable nuc box for a variety of tasks. Whether you’re making splits, catching swarms, or transporting bees, this nuc is designed to handle it all.

Constructed from durable, lightweight plastic, the Pro-Nuc is easy to carry and tough enough for repeated use in the field. It holds five deep frames, making it compatible with standard Langstroth equipment.

The snap-on lid secures tightly for transport while offering adjustable airflow by rotating the lid position. It also includes built-in feeder access points that can be opened as needed, allowing feeding without opening the box.

Each nuc features two sliding entrance gates, giving you full control over airflow and bee movement. These can be closed for transport, partially opened for ventilation, or fully opened when the nuc is in use.

Inside, frame rests keep frames from shifting, which is especially important during transport or swarm collection.

The Pro-Nuc is also ideal to keep in your truck or bee yard so you're always ready for a swarm call. It can double as storage for frames or essential swarm-catching tools.

Available individually or in bulk, including pallet quantities of 200, with optimized shipping when ordered in packs of 8.
