Product Information

It gives you oodles more options, not least being able to move frames around between boxes to manage the colony size. You can reduce back down to one brood and move to flows where you don't want more foraging bees but less bee looking after brood. Just insert the metal frame runners into the slots (provided) and give your hive a lick of paint and you are ready to go! This inspired us to develop a new higher density polystyrene nuc box that has more than 1 basic purpose.

obviously gives more space for brooding in the summer and this therefore is a big advantage if you have a very productive colony. I found (and more importantly so did one of my colonies) the space on a single standard not enough for both the early year population explosion and storing food for over wintering. Additionally, we offer top-tier F1 Buckfast Queens and F1 Carniolan Queens, reflecting our unwavering commitment to breeding excellence.

Please note timber is a natural product and prone to changes in appearance, including some movement, warping and splitting, particularly in extreme weather conditions. ensure you have enough space for the footprint of the building, as well as room for any overhangs, and space to carry out maintenance work, and for air flow round the sides. Our new feeder design also features a removable plug, which can provide access to fondant placed inside the feeder.

If your queens are fecund enough to need that sized brood box then far better (IMHO) to go for double brood. Over time we have worked with many other polystyrene boxes, but we were never quite able to find something suitable for us. At BS Honey Bees Ltd, we're not just a supplier; we're your dedicated partner in beekeeping, offering the pinnacle of bee quality and service. The cladding on this shed is Dip Treated 16mm (planed to 12mm finish) specially designed rebated shiplap.

Spring nucs will have travel screens on them to keep them cooler in warmer weather when transporting. My neighbour has gone down the standard national brood route and has now ended up on brood and a half, I would suggest that it is easier to inspect the 14 x 12 than brood and a half as it is less work and there is less chance of missing/harming the queen. The 14x12 Pent Garden Shed is constructed by our team of expert craftsmen using only the highest quality timber. Consenting to these technologies will allow us to process data such as browsing behavior or unique IDs on this site.All parts of the frame have been machine tooled to our usual exacting standards and just the top bars may have these slight cosmetic flaws which will not be noticed by the bees and will in no way affect their function. The most common flaw is a slight blue tinge which is a natural colouration sometimes appearing during the drying process whilst some others may have a small knot in the underside of the frame bar.
