2 frame or 5 frame nuc? | Beesource Beekeeping Forums
2018-4-23 · Jade, you will get the most bang for your buck with the 2-frame nuc,also referred to as a mating nuc. Only requires about a cup of bees, 600-700, to populate. Good for a ripe queen cell about to pop. Terrible as a walkaway split. I ordered two queen castles from Brushy Mountain last week. Each can be used as 4 2-frame nucs or 2 4-frame nucs.
