Paynes 6 Frame Poly Nuc
Paynes 6 Frame Poly Nuc
The paynes 6 frame polystyrene Nucleus is an ideal hive for you to make splits or to use to catch a swarm.
FEATURES
LIGHTWEIGHT AND DURABLE
Each nuc is made from a very high density material, 100g/litre - up to 4 times stronger than the poly used for packaging. This gives the nucs great durability, able to withstand hive tools and the usual beehive inspections. It's lightweight properties will mean it is easier to handle too - great for those bad backs!
SUPER INSULATED
Its insulation properties also makes it ideal for beehives as less bees are required to maintain the heat required for effective brood rearing, helps improve overwintering successes and giving you an earlier spring buildup.
ALREADY BUILT
No faffing around with this nuc. The base component is one piece moulded so there are no weak joints and very minimal assembly needed before you add your bees. Just give your nuc a lick of paint and screw the entrance disc to the front (supplied), then you are ready to go!
EXPANDABLE
The poly nuc has a range of extra that are available separately, enabling you to convert the nuc into so much more! add an additional extension box on top to give the queen more room to lay in. Or, how about adding a queen excluder and a super so you can start collecting honey from it, without having to use a full size hive or moving them around.

Really helpful, friendly and prompt service. So lucky to have these on my doorstep. Thanks.
Received the nuc from Gwenyn really quickly no complaints there, but I've found the nuc leaks syrup through the poly wall,I had painted the outside but looks like it'll require a coat inside the feeder.
I can’t believe how quickly my order arrived, I neede a nuc for a split I needed to do before my bees swarmed and I’m in Suffolk and my order arrived in the morning the next day was so relieved, fantastic service.
Bought a few essential items, fantastic service and quick delivery. That was a jar of yummy honey 👍
