Nuc Up - Transfer 5 Frame Langstroth Nuc to Top Bar Hive

Note: We don't keep this product in stock, but we can make it to fit your hive when you're ordering one of our hives. Contact us, and we can put together a custom invoice that includes all of the items you'd like and combines shipping. Why do I need this?  Top bar hives and Langstroth hives are especially not compatible. Since local nucs are mostly created from local survivor stock in Langstroth equipment, special equipment like this is used to help transition the bees into a different-shaped hive body.  Buying local nucs from regional beekeepers is an ideal way to start a colony. Whether it's a proven overwintered treatment-free nuc or one made that spring with a local queen, having local bees that are related to each other helps tip the odds in your favor for success. You can mail order a specific breed of bees, too. Beekeepers should check that the queen has a proven laying pattern, have been bred for desirable traits, and has survived your local conditions.
