This Paradise Honey 6-Frame Jumbo Langstroth Nucleus Hive is manufactured from high-density polystyrene (EPS) and is designed as a complete, self-contained nuc system for use with jumbo Langstroth frames. The nuc is constructed with a separate floor, varroa mesh, hive body, and roof, all of which interlock to provide a secure and robust structure.
The lightweight yet durable poly construction offers good insulation and ease of handling, making it suitable for a wide range of nuc applications throughout the beekeeping season.
Designed and manufactured by Paradise Honey, this nuc is intended for use with Langstroth jumbo frames (295 mm deep).
What’s Included:
- Nucleus roof
- Nucleus floor
- Jumbo Langstroth nucleus body
- Varroa mesh
- 2 × Entrance reducers
- 2.5 m hive strap
- Screw pack
The nuc features a hard plastic frame ledge to support the frames and help protect the polystyrene during inspections and propolis removal, contributing to long service life. Supplied flat-packed, it is easy to assemble and comes with full instructions.
A useful feature of this nuc is the option to divide it into two 3-frame nucleus hives using a central division board (available separately). The floor includes entrances at both ends, allowing flexible configuration depending on colony strength and management requirements.
As with Paradise Honey hives, the roof is reversible. When used with a cut-down propolis screen (available separately), the nuc can be prepared for transport, allowing ventilation through the varroa floor and screen to help prevent overheating.
Please note: Frames, foundation, and division boards are available to purchase separately.
