Complete 6-frame American Langstroth nucleus hive in plastic — includes brood body, low roof and hygienic bottom board. Multi-frame system: bottom board and roof also fit Dadant hive bodies. Tool-free dovetail assembly. Resistant to wax moth, rodents and weathering. Unpainted.
One set of bottom boards, roofs and feeders for both Langstroth and Dadant hive bodies — that's the Multi-frame promise.
If you run a mixed apiary with Langstroth and Dadant frames, you know the headache of keeping duplicate bottom boards, roofs and feeders for each format. This 6-frame American Langstroth nucleus belongs to the Multi-frame line — a plastic hive system where bottom boards, roofs and feeders are fully interchangeable between frame formats. The kit arrives complete with brood body, low roof and hygienic plastic bottom board, ready to house a swarm, a mated queen or your spring splits straight out of the box.
The real advantage of the Multi-frame line: the hygienic bottom board and low roof fit both Langstroth and Dadant hive bodies. In practice, this means you can standardise bottom boards, roofs and feeders across your entire apiary even if you work with two different frame sizes. Less duplicate equipment, less logistics, more room in the van on moving day.
The plastic bottom board withstands pressure washing without warping and will never rot or corrode. The mesh floor promotes natural ventilation and supports winter clustering, while the removable tray lets you monitor varroa drop counts. For between-season sterilisation or after a disease event, a bleach soak or a flame pass is all it takes — something you simply cannot achieve with a conventional wooden floor.
The mounting rails are bonded to the hive body through a dedicated manufacturing process that delivers solid, weather-tight joints. The dovetail connection system lets you assemble and disassemble the nucleus by hand with no screws or special tools. Joints resist deformation from heavy use, moisture, UV radiation and sudden temperature swings — built to live outdoors season after season.
Manufactured from laboratory-tested raw materials and backed by an international quality certificate. The plastic is impervious to wax moth, cannot be gnawed by mice or attacked by wasps — eliminating two classic problems with wooden nucs stored over winter. The body arrives unpainted — coat it with exterior acrylic paint in any colour you like, or leave it bare if your apiary sits in the shade.
