6-frame Langstroth Nuc P-hive®

High-Density Materials and Superior Insulation

The 6-frame Langstroth Nuc P-hive® is crafted from high-density polystyrene (80 kg/m³), providing exceptional thermal insulation comparable to 15 cm of wood. This material ensures optimal thermal stability within the hive, crucial for energy conservation during seasonal temperature variations.

Robust Design with Optimized Thickness

Designed for maximum efficiency, the Langstroth Nuc features 38 mm thickness on the long sides and 47 mm on the short sides. This characteristic not only adds robustness and durability to the hive but also enhances thermal insulation, maintaining an ideal environment for the bees.

Lightweight and Easy to Handle

Weighing only 2.5 kg, it is significantly lighter than a traditional wooden nuc, which can weigh around 15 kg. This lightweight design greatly facilitates handling, transport, and relocation of the hives, reducing the physical effort required. Additionally, the nuc comes fully assembled and ready for immediate use, allowing beekeepers to focus on hive management without additional assembly concerns. Each component is perfectly aligned to ensure efficient and durable performance.

Ventilation and Varroa Control

Equipped with a screened bottom board and tray, this system facilitates a constant flow of fresh air and allows for monitoring and controlling mite drop, a critical aspect for hive health. This intelligent design helps maintain a healthy colony and reduces bee stress.

Sustainability and Easy Maintenance

The polystyrene material used is 100% recyclable, extremely durable, and weather-resistant. It is recommended to paint the hive with light-colored water-based paints for additional UV protection, thereby extending the nuc's lifespan.

Dimensions and Weight

This Langstroth Nuc is designed to hold 6 Langstroth frames measuring 482 x 232 mm. Its external dimensions are approximately 55 x 31 cm, with a height of 34 cm and an approximate weight of 2.5 kg.

The 6-frame Langstroth Nuc P-hive® represents an innovative and high-quality solution for beekeepers seeking to improve the efficiency and performance of their hives, offering a perfect combination of lightweight design, durability, and functionality.
