Lyson® mini hive in Dadant Blatt ½ (half-super) format, 160 mm for queen rearing, mating nuclei and overwintering reserves. Modular frames that transfer straight to a Dadant super, a body that splits into two colonies and high-density polystyrene that holds the temperature.
In the thick of the rearing season the bottleneck is rarely raising the queen — it’s moving the mated nucleus up to production without breaking the laying pattern or stressing the queen. The Lyson® Miniplus Premium is built for exactly that step, with a body in Dadant Blatt ½ (half-super) format, 160 mm, and modular frames that drop straight into your production hives.
The modular frames pair up two-by-two to make a full Dadant Blatt half-super frame of 160 mm. You move brood, pollen and stores up to the production hive without dismantling the nest or taking the bees out of their format: the transfer is clean and quick — exactly what counts in a queen rotation or a selection line.
A dividing board splits the body into two independent colonies, each with its own entrance, landing area and feeder. You double your mating capacity or keep reserve queens on hand without taking up more space or buying more kit — in peak season, that’s time and money.
A small nucleus has little thermal margin. High-density polystyrene insulates far better than thin timber: it protects the colony from winter cold and summer heat spikes and cuts the drain on stores. The gable (four-way) roof sheds rain and stacks neatly —handy when you run dozens of nucs— and is factory-painted blue to weather well and spot at a glance.
