Look on b**4b**s £35 plus p&p looks a nice nuc with a open mesh floor and no i'm not the seller.
I make my own but there all being used at the moment so I don't have any for sell, perhaps next year if I can get some made up over winter months

Ed, I have an old one I brought 2nd hand for a tenner, its housed 2 swarms that have gone on to brood boxes and then united. If you want one in a hurry you borrow it for the winter as I now have 2 nice new 14 x 12s for next spring

Bespoke Cedar Nuc

I now know a chap in Stratford, keeps Buckfasts and makes hives as a buisiness,(cedar and deal). He is making me a nuc (cedar, 5 frame),that will convert from DN to 14X12.
The idea being that I could raise/overwinter a small colony in the national and use the 14X12 next year for swarms. Going to cost me @£40-50, but I think a plain national nuc comes in @£30. They are good quality, just have to assemble them.

Only wish I'd known he was there when I got started (paid £90 for one nuc from Th**nes)!

Problem would be postage!
