Our standard nucleus hive includes: a queen bee (overwintered or current season), 2 frames of brood with adhering bees, one frame of feed (honey/nectar/pollen) with adhering bees, and one frame of foundation/empty comb. Our nucleus colonies come in a polypropylene corrugated plastic box because we believe these to be durable and reusable. These boxes can later be utilised for making splits or catching swarms instead of being thrown away.
