This new NUC box was developed by and named after Jesse Kasem Azam, owner of S&S Apiaries LLC in Edgewater, FL. Jessie is a long time Beekeeper moving hundreds of NUCs every season. He wanted to have a NUC box that traveled well and provide ventilation for the bees.
The Cypress J NUC Box is designed for long life and durability. The top of the box has a dado cut in the bottom so can't move from side to side. The depth of the frame ledge has been increased to compensate for the inset. The bottom has a screen for full ventilation and blocks are attached to the bottom to allow for ventilation and stacking. All the joints are glued and stapled. A small piece of Cypress comes with the J NUC to seal the entrance. This box may cost a little more than some of the others but it will last for years and man does it look professional.
This Pine J NUC Box is similar to the Cypress J NUC Box but has a few exceptions. The box is made of Northern White Pine and the Top is made of 3/4" exterior MDO sign plywood. The bottom has a screen for full ventilation and a cypress blocks are attached to the bottom to allow for stacking. All the joints are glued and stapled. A small piece of wedged shaped Pine comes with the J NUC to seal the entrance and also serves as an entrance reducer. This box may cost a little more than some of the others but it will last for years and man does it look professional.
