Poly hives offer a light weight solution to keeping bees with better thermal insultation than traditional cedar hives. Many who keep colonies on poly hives report higher honey yeilds over their cedar hives. This is backed up by research which shows that poly hives are thermally closer to the characteristics of a hollow tree. Swarms and weak colonies do well in poly nucs which are so versitile
We are proud to stock both Maisemore and BS Honey’s poly nucs which are the best and the most flexible we have found, Poly Nuc parts are interchangeable between the two manufacturers.
