LYSON 6 Frame Nuc

[@joestocker660]

These nucs are great! I carried some late, very small colonies through last winter in them. I introduced a cheap BlueTooth temp sensor in them and the bees could easily regulate the temps. I've used a variety of the many venting options, the top feeders, propolis traps, and just couldn't be more satisfied. If there was a painted or primed option that would be great, but the outer coating is a bit like gel-coat on fiberglass. You want to paint after assembly, but you can get away with a few months (I did) before the UV starts degrading the surface. Really just leaving this as a product review. In the US they don't come assembled, and I thought that screwing them together might break out chunks. Not so. Even when I was less than accurate with screws the extra density made the difference. Great product!

Thanks for the feedback, Joe. We love them also! In AU and NZ we now have a supply of painted and assembled nucs ready to go :-)

Ok, so I like this 6-Frame Nucleus setup, do you also sell supers for it, just in case we want to expand it up as a resource hive? BTW, you make the very best hive stands in the industry.

[@lysonbeekeepingsupplies2407]

Hi there. We do sell the supers separately to our customers here in Australia. Quite a few of our customers run them as full hives rather than just a nucleus setup. Depending on where you live you may have to check with your local distributor of Lyson gear.

How do you feed the hives in these hives?

[@lysonbeekeepingsupplies2407]

You can use any entrance feeder or frame feeder. We have a purpose built top feeder designed to sit under the lid and above the frames - check it out here: www.lysonau.com.au/product/feeder-for-6-frame-beehive-nuc/
