Details of Layens Nuc HDF

Six-frame Layens nuc in water-resistant laminated HDF board: the cheap box to start, sell or move swarms.

It weighs little, needs no painting and costs a fraction of a wooden one. In exchange it is not an overwintering box: insulation is limited and the finish is that of a budget product.

01 · WHAT IT IS FOR

Starting, selling and transporting — not wintering

It wins on what you do with it and get back: starting a swarm until it asks for a hive, selling it with the bees inside without loading the price, and moving frames between apiaries, where its lightness tells. It has an entrance, easy-open catches on the lid and a feeding chamber in the crown board. For wintering in a cold area, HDF insulates poorly: that calls for wood or polystyrene.

02 · THE FINISH

It is stapled board: check the staples when it arrives

Better known beforehand than after: HDF is assembled with staples, and it is common for one to stand proud inside or to chip the edge as it goes in. It does not compromise the structure, but it is a two-minute job — go over the inside and set any loose staple before you put frames in. The other point is the edges: that is where the board takes up moisture and starts to swell, so store it under cover and do not leave it outdoors out of season.

03 · BEFORE YOU BUY

You choose before adding to the basket: with or without frames. If you want a box to winter in or to leave set up permanently, look at the wooden or polystyrene nucs; this one is for turnover.

✓ FITS	Layens frames — 6 per box. With an entrance and lid catches.
✕ NOT FOR	Wintering in a cold area: HDF insulates poorly.
⚠ BEAR IN MIND	Stapled board: a staple may stand proud or chip an edge.
