Thornes Rainbow Mating Nuc Review
Someone in my Queen Rearing group suggested these as all their hives have under hive entrances and these match but they'd never actually tried them yet. I thought they were a good price in comparision to similar options. I bought two, the idea being this meant free delivery with everything else I ordered! The principle idea is that the clashing colours of the nucs mean it's easier for multiple queens to find their way home after mating. small and compact, my other one is blue and red I think They arrived quickly from Thornes and they are really well constructed and really reasonably priced. They are plastic so will last a long time and easy to clean! They had different entrances on the bottom, closed, open and queen excluder. I used a paintbrush to apply melted wax to the plastic frame starter strips and then decided to make fondant for the little feeder. My fondant was a failure, I feel I just made sugar blocks but they ate them! To 'fill' it I used bees from the supe
