Introducing the new Pro Nuc, the first nuc box actually designed with the beekeeper in mind.
As the nuc market continues to grow, it was time to come out with a product designed for a quality presentation. Up to now we as bee professionals hand the customer a flimsy cardboard or corrugated plastic box full of bees. Usually with the lid taped shut, sometimes we even put them in a laundry bag to catch escapees, all the while worrying like crazy about them cooking the bees from not enough airflow!
The Pro Nuc is designed to give you a quality box to present to the customer, for the same price range as the folded one. It’s a sturdy and robust nuc with all the features to make your life easy, and the customer impressed with your product presentation.
The Pro Nuc itself is a sturdy recyclable plastic tote with a lid that firmly latches and doesn't let bees escape.
We added drain holes in the bottom let any moisture out, and keep bees in.
The ends of the box have been lowered, no more digging frames out with a have tool, the ends are exposed for easy removal. so much for prying frames around.
Reversible lid to increase airflow 3X the the amount of the next best
The nuc is designed to keep frames from sliding and banging in transit. stops on the frame rest and retainers in the lid, keep frames in place, without crushing bees, all while leaving space on either side for those really full nucs we like to provide.
Finally a first class box to haul those great bees you grew!
The lid has some great features for you, the pro, and your customer! first off its reversible. Put it on in the vented position and you instantly double the area open for airflow, working just like the eaves in your house and yet bees are still contained! If thats to much turn it around and stop airflow under the lid.
It has two built in feeder details designed to allow hive top feeding, and yet no escaping bees. one is designed for the standard pop bottle top, the other is set for the 1 gallon feeder cans commonly used.
The Pro Nuc has 2 sliding doors designed to keep rain out when up, and let air flow but not bees when down. and are designed to provide bee tight shipping without cutting off airflow.
The Pro Nuc is designed to nest and stack for shipping, allowing for reduced shipping cost to you.
You spent your time building great bees for your customers, be sure to present them in the best possible package!
As of yet they do not have them on their websites or in their systems. They will not be able to send them to you until late January 2019.
Thanks for your patience while we get them all made!
These are brand new for 2019 and will be in the spring catalogs for these suppliers.
