Tweak your design (twin unit/single unit with integral feeder/external rails on the ends of the box/whatever) so that it has the same footprint as a standard frame nuc. This'll give you immense flexibility with a little thought.Evening all, I usually move mine when there’s robing going on, but I’ve moved them to a smaller apiary and there is still robbing happening they are strong mini nucs with lots of bees and brood oh they are home made mini 4/6 frame nucs.
