As promised last time around, it’s more Commercial hive plan goodness. This time around it is the turn of nucleus boxes, and all in plywood.

Two variants, one is a downsized version of the plywood hive plans last time around, so still using a mix of 9mm, 12mm and 18mm ply. The other is lighter and just uses 9mm and 12mm ply.

I make them to of a size where they’ll their external dimensions mean they sit side by side on top of a full sized Commercial brood box, for manipulations like demaree, or queen rearing.

Anyway here go with the plans:

Commercial nucleus – 9mm, 12mm and 18mm ply

And again in pdf form below.

Commercial nucleus – 9mm and 12mm ply

Just in case you don’t have any 18mm ply to hand, or you’re too tight to spend on such luxuries …
