Empty Nuc boxes needed today????

[MartinL]

Hi, I'm in Warwick and in urgent need of 2 nucs.

Had planned to collect them from my usual supplier but he's had to go off to sort an issue on the coast, leaving them locked away!

Does anyone know where I could get some (locally) today.
I'm known for being a bit tight with cash so not about to spend a fortune when I could cobble something together from Polystyrene sheet & masking tape.

Not knowing where you usually go to, have you tried Beekeeping supplies, Kenilworth?

Thanks, they didn't display opening times.

Picked up a couple of Maisie's poly nucs from Simon, (2hrs there & back).

Never been tempted into plastic before and will be keeping more backup stock in future.

Suppose I can evaluate the + & - of it all now?

glad you got sorted!

I did think STBK but thought t was a bit far for you

I love my Poly hives, only have two wooden hives now and only one in use, I took advantage of the Maisemore half day sale on Saturday and came back with a truck full, more Hives, a coupe of Nucs and a few hundred 'seconds' frames, this makes me laugh as they aren't, I know a couple of weeks ago they hadn't even 'made' them.
