- 12 and 18 Nucs
A good swarm in my experience will cover 6-8 frames. Langstroth ones.
A medium one some 5 National ones.
Given this, it pays to be prepared to accommodate them in comfort.
I would not expect a decent one to need anything as small as a five frame National Nuc.
Just a heads up that that ball of bees may be a bit bigger when hived than you expect.
