Double Mating Nuc – High-Performance Styrofoam Nuc for Queen Rearing

The Double Mating Nuc Styrofoam Hive is an efficient and durable solution for beekeepers focused on queen rearing and colony expansion. Designed for optimal insulation and lightweight handling, this mating nuc provides the perfect environment for raising healthy, productive queens.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Two Separate Compartments – Allows beekeepers to raise two queens in a single unit, maximizing efficiency and space. Each section has its own entrance, preventing queen interference and ensuring successful mating.
  • High-Quality Styrofoam Construction – Provides superior insulation, maintaining stable internal temperatures and improving colony survival, especially in cooler climates.
  • Compact & Lightweight – Easy to handle, transport, and manage, making it ideal for both small-scale and commercial queen breeders.
  • Designed for Optimal Queen Rearing – Each section holds multiple frames, giving young colonies enough space to develop while remaining compact enough to encourage strong queen acceptance.
  • Efficient Colony Management – Helps beekeepers increase queen production while conserving resources, reducing costs, and improving hive sustainability.

How to Use the Double Mating Nuc:

  1. Install queen cells or virgin queens into each compartment with a small group of nurse bees.
  2. Place the nuc in a well-protected area, allowing queens to mate naturally.
  3. Once mated, queens can be transferred to production hives, ensuring continuous colony expansion and genetic improvement.

Ideal for professional breeders, sideline beekeepers, and hobbyists, this Double Mating Nuc Styrofoam Hive is a must-have tool for successful, controlled queen rearing. Lightweight, insulated, and highly efficient, it helps beekeepers maximize queen production while maintaining hive health and stability.
