Bee Brief™ NOD Nuc Design
The Bee Brief™ NOD Nuc (BB) is a four frame nuc box designed for rapid handling and shipping. Constructed of tough plastic, the same material playground equipment is made, from, it can take the rigors of commercial beekeeping. It holds standard size Langstroth frames, preferably with Hoffman style end bars. It has a drop-on screened lid with slide down ends, which, when settled into place, closes off the only entrance, 8 inches up off the bottom of the base.
Once assembled, the sides, ends, and bottom are all one piece. The sides extend up past the ends and are slotted for handholds, allowing two BBs to be carried like a brief case; hence the name. A beekeeper can comfortably carry four BBs at a time, when they are empty.
With the one piece plastic base design, the Stainless Steel screws (provided) for assembly, and high entrance, no stand is required. They can be scattered around the bee yard on the ground (no stand required), out of the way, as mating or queen acceptance nucs. Drop and go, when setting out, and the handles are 12 inches up off the ground, for quick grab pick up. Easy on the back!
The drop-on weather shield lid protects the bees from precipitation and gives a shaded but ventilated space above the bees. This second lid can replace the screened lid, when closing off the entrance may not be required. Usually the screen lid is just lifted up on the entrance end, and slid back a bit, to rest in a propped up position. The weather shield lid is then set on top, sloped towards the back, directing precipitation behind the Bee Brief™.
