Quarti® Dadant Blatt 6-frame nuc (3+3) with reinforcements

Dadant Blatt 6-frame nuc, divisible, made of high-density polystyrene

Technical features and benefits:

• Divisible 3+3 frames: This nuc can easily be divided into two parts, allowing for the efficient and controlled formation of new swarms. Ideal for preventing swarming and quickly populating empty hives with ease.

• Superior thermal insulation: Thanks to the thick high-density polystyrene walls, this nuc offers significantly better thermal protection compared to wooden models. It helps maintain a stable temperature inside the nuc, both in winter and summer, allowing the bees to save energy on heating or cooling and focus more on brood rearing or honey production.

• Anti-varroa ventilation: Equipped with ventilation screens specifically designed to combat varroa mites, this nuc ensures optimal air circulation, essential for keeping the colony healthy and preventing parasite infestations.

• Dual entrance (piquera): With two entrances, one at the front and another at the rear, this nuc allows both sections to function independently, facilitating bee access when the nuc is divided.

• Lightweight and durable: Unlike wooden nucs, this polystyrene nuc is much lighter, making it easier to transport and handle. Additionally, it features a dark blue plastic rim at the top with a notched bar, which provides extra durability. The areas where the frames rest and where beekeepers typically insert the hive tool are reinforced with plastic, protecting the polystyrene. These plastic reinforcements ensure that the nuc withstands heavy use over time.

• Dadant Blatt size: This nuc is designed for Dadant Blatt frames with a 47 cm long top bar, a common standard in France and other European countries.

Specifications:

• Material: High-density polystyrene

• Capacity: 6 frames (divisible 3+3)

• Dimensions: 275 x 495 mm

• Frames not included

• Accessories: Includes ventilation screens and a hermetically sealed lid for enhanced weather protection.

Why choose this nuc?

In addition to being lighter than traditional wooden nucs, this Dadant Blatt nuc stands out for its superior insulation, which protects the bees from extreme temperatures. The use of high-density polystyrene ensures that the hive maintains a more stable temperature, reducing the amount of energy the bees need to regulate their environment. This not only improves their overall well-being but also allows them to focus more on brood rearing or honey production, potentially leading to a larger harvest or stronger colonies.

This nuc is ideal for any beekeeper looking to optimize their apiary, combining lightness, durability, and superior insulation to provide a healthier and more productive environment for the bees.
