Convert a full depth Technoset brood box in the most efficient way to start nucleus hives.

In a hurry to split hives? Fit the kit to a single brood box and come back 3 days later to see which two nucs have no eggs. Scrape off any queen cells and insert a new caged queen in each. Alternatively, two queen cells can be added with queens almost ready to emerge.

During winter, the hives share the warmth generated within the brood box.

In the case of a lost queen, a divider can be removed and the two colonies united.

Each feeder has a compartment with a lid for feeding pollen patties or protein supplements. The bees can only access the syrup in a narrow passage to prevent drowning. The feeders have vents to allow damp air to disperse through the vents in the Technoset roof. To refill the feeders, simply lift the roof and top up without any disturbance to the bees. Alternatively, three feeder valves can be fitted to the roof to avoid even lifting the roof when topping up the syrup.

The middle feeder includes the entrance for the middle Nuc and a sliding door.

This is an add-on kit for fitting to a Technoset beehive. Order beehives separately if required.
