What is a Nuc?
The term "nuc" is short for "nucleus." Compared to established hives,
nucleus hives or (nuc's) usually only consist of 5 frames of brood and
bees and a queen. (Much smaller than an established hive of bees) Making
a nuc is a very common way of building a new hive out of already
existing hives. A nuc contains, bees, brood, and a queen. All three are
vital to establishing a new and successful hive!
