Excellent idea

Looks like the manufacturer used the same mould as a Bivo box but with less dense foam. Interesting.

Excellent. Re-use is the best form of recycling!

The photos do not show where or how the bees get in the box. Got any photos of this?

looks great. if I were doing it I would only bother to put in 1 frame as hopefully the new colony will only be in there a short while and I would use an old used brood frame with the comb still in it.

Brill, did you get it from a local shop

Got the box from Swansea Market, the entrance can go anywhere thats no prob. I agree with the frames only one or two but it could be used as a temp NUC as well.

I looked at one of these, but for all the faf, plastic lining etc, might as well buy a polynuc from p*ynes

As there is no bee space around the frames the bees will stick the frames to the side walls in no time.

Yes I agree but it is only a bait box and a temp nuc for free.

Got to be worth sticking up in a tree somewhere!
