Pro-Nuc - 5 Frame Deep, Plastic Nucleus Hive

When a swarm call comes in, you don't have time to build a nuc box. Keep this one in your truck year-round and you're always ready — for splits, swarm catches, or just moving bees between yards.

What's Included

• Snap-on ventilated lid (Pink, Green, Yellow, or Blue)
• 2 removable, sliding entrance gates
• 2 internal frame rests to keep frames from shifting
• 5-frame deep box, compatible with standard Langstroth deep frames

Why Beekeepers Keep One On Hand

• Always Ready for a Swarm Call: No assembly, no last-minute scramble — grab it and go.
• Lightweight But Tough: Durable plastic construction built for repeated field use, not a one-time cardboard box.
• Full Airflow Control: Two sliding entrance gates let you close both ends for transport, crack them for ventilation, or open fully once the nuc is in place.
• Frames Stay Put: Internal rests keep frames from sliding or shifting during a bumpy truck ride.
• Feed Without Opening the Box: Built-in feeder access points in the lid.
• Pick Your Color: Pink, Green, Yellow, or Blue lids — handy for color-coding hives or just telling your nucs apart at a glance.

Beyond Swarm Catching

This nuc handles splits, temporary bee transport, and frame storage just as well as swarm capture. Keep one in the truck, one in the bee yard, and you're covered for whatever comes up mid-season.

Buying for Multiple Hives?

Available individually, in 8-packs, or as a 200-unit pallet — order in packs of 8 for the most efficient shipping if you're outfitting several yards at once.
