High-Strength EPS Double Queens Nuc Box for Beekeeping – Complete Beehive Kit

The High-Strength EPS Double Queens Nuc Box for Beekeeping is designed with high-density EPS foam board, offering excellent compressive resistance, deformation resistance, and bite resistance, ensuring the durability and longevity of the hive.

Why Choose This Beehive:

1. Durable EPS Foam Construction: High-density foam board provides strong compressive and deformation resistance, making it tough and long-lasting.
2. Double Queens Design: This beehive features a unique double queen setup, where two queens are separated by a queen excluder. By removing the middle board, the queens can freely move between sections.
3. Plastic Frames with Foundations: The included plastic frames come with foundations, allowing bees to make cells directly, promoting efficient honey production.
4. Better Bee Management: The design includes separate excluders and feeders, providing better management of the bees and ensuring a smooth beekeeping process.

Size: 33MM * 130MM * 115MM

What Is a Double Queens Colony Beehive?

A double queens colony refers to a beehive with two queen bees laying eggs simultaneously. Normally, a colony has only one queen, but through human intervention, two queens can coexist within a colony, each separated by a queen excluder.

Principle of Double Queens:

While only one queen bee typically exists in a colony, two queens may be introduced through human intervention. These queens will lay eggs in separate sections, as long as they do not meet each other. The queen excluder keeps them separated to prevent conflict.

Advantages of Double Queens:

• Faster Reproduction: Two queens laying eggs leads to faster colony growth, which is especially beneficial in the spring for recovery after winter and in autumn to build strength for winter.
• Spring Recovery: Double queen colonies recover quickly from winter, boosting productivity during the honey season.
• Winter Preparation: A double queen setup helps rear more bees quickly, ensuring strong colonies going into winter.

Applications of Double Queens:

1. Spring Rebuilding: In spring, double queen colonies help accelerate recovery from winter. These colonies can later be split into two single-queen colonies—one strong for honey collection and one weak for further rebuilding.
2. Autumn Rebuilding: In autumn, you can build strong and weak colonies with double queens, speeding up growth. Before winter, they can be split into two equal colonies for a better chance of surviving the cold months.

This double queens nuc box offers a robust, efficient solution for beekeepers looking to optimize bee colony growth and management.
