Bad points .No instructions on folding , they are to long and frames come off the rests very easy , good points well ventilated , the doors work needing no modification and they are bee escape proof when closed up
These basic coreflute nucs are priced well and are great for selling nucleus colonies or catching swarms. They come flat packed and assembly isn’t difficult with included instructions. They are surprisingly sturdy once folded. To improve their usability, we replace the plastic entry-wheel pin with a small nut/bolt. We also insert timber shims on the frame rests to keep the frames from moving about. We’ve done the same with coreflute nucs sourced elsewhere, just something we do for peace of mind.
5 Frame Corrugated Cardboard Folding Nuc Hive - 5 Pack
Hives were quite tricky to put together check the website I purchased from for video but couldn’t find one
Folding Nucs are generally of good quality. One of the 5 had a minor cutout defect but was extremely quickly rectified by The Bee Store by sending out a replacement. Always impressed with their prompt service.
I found the pins for fastening the entrance disks left them a little loose. For a tighter fit I replaced them with a 25mm split pin from officeworks. Works a treat.
