Nicot® Half plastic frame for Miniplus nuc

Main Features:

• Material: High-quality, recyclable plastic compliant with food safety regulations.
• Dimensions: 217 x 160 mm, tailored to the standard Dadant Blatt size, making it compatible with half a Dadant super frame.
• Adaptability: This frame allows for pairing with another to form a complete Dadant Blatt frame, thus optimizing space management and facilitating brood preparation before placement in the mating nuc.
• Hoffman Space: Comes with a Hoffman spacer that can be attached if necessary, using acetone or trichloroethylene, to adjust the spacing between frames.
• Specialization: Specifically designed for use in Miniplus mating nucs, providing the necessary infrastructure for queen rearing and healthy brood development.
• Wax Installation: Offers the flexibility to mount a custom-cut stamped wax sheet or insert a wax starter on three sides. It also presents the option of assembly with or without wires, facilitating the adhesion of wax.

This frame not only eases the handling of stamped wax but is also a key component in the process of queen rearing and mating, combining high-quality materials and excellent manufacturing to provide an effective and durable tool.

Tips for Using the Mating Nuc:

1. Insert a royal cell or queen cell in the center of the nuc, ideally collected the day before.
2. Add the bees previously moistened with water.
3. Keep the nuc closed in a cool, dark place, such as a cellar, for approximately 24 hours.
4. Move the nuc to the mating site the next day.
5. Open the entrances at nightfall to prevent desertion.
