Apimaye NUC 7 Frame Hive Set No Frames OR Foundation #180

$214.00

Experience the best‑rated beehive on Amazon and Apimondia’s 1st‑place Beehive Innovations Award winner—now available in a powerful nuc size. This insulated 7‑frame Ergo PLUS nuc hive is the easiest hive to manage for beginners and professionals alike. It arrives fully assembled, never needs paint, and makes inspections, feeding, transportation, and Varroa control effortless.

Engineered for extreme weather, the hive’s insulation prevents moisture buildup, helping bees overwinter with less honey consumption and enabling faster spring buildup. Standard features include a screened bottom board for Varroa and beetle defense, split entrances with reducers, division/unity board, and two top feeders for managing split colonies.

Configure it as a single 7‑frame hive or two 3‑frame hives—perfect for queen rearing, splits, and bee sales. Lightweight, easy to lift, and ideal for hobbyists, young beekeepers, and anyone who prefers manageable equipment. Add matching insulated supers for honey production, enjoy superior ventilation, and use either your own standard frames or Apimaye handy frames.

This nuc can house two separate colonies, each with its own color‑coded entrance and feeder. Feed syrup and candy simultaneously, keep backup queens, or run mating nucs with ease. It’s the best insulated, ventilated nuc hive available.

Frames not included. You can add wooden frames or plastic frames.
