Paradise Honey 6-Frame Jumbo Langstroth Nucleus Hive Body
This Paradise Honey 6-Frame Jumbo Langstroth Nucleus Hive Body is manufactured from high-density polystyrene (EPS) and is designed for use with Paradise Honey Langstroth nuc systems. The jumbo body is compatible with all Paradise Honey Langstroth nucs and can be stacked in the same way as standard hive bodies.
The body is intended for use with Langstroth jumbo / Dadant frames at approximately 300 mm deep, providing a generous brood area within a nuc format.
The modular design of Paradise nucs allows bodies to be stacked, which can be useful when uniting nucs or when additional space is required. The availability of compatible medium-depth bodies also allows a super to be added to a nuc, making it easier to manage strong colonies or prepare nucs for overwintering.
This flexibility means that, in some configurations, 6-frame Langstroth nucs can be used as small hives for extended or year-round use. A 6-frame jumbo brood body offers a brood volume similar to a standard British National brood chamber, while alternative setups using medium frames throughout the hive can help reduce lifting weight and simplify frame management.
Each body is supplied with two plastic frame runners to help protect the polystyrene during inspections and routine hive work.
