Another useful video to have as a reference. I look forward to the inner cover video and your plan for the bottom too. I suppose the bottom depends a bit on how you expect to use the NUC.
I use a divided bottom board and start two nucs in one of these. As they grow I add another of these boxes. Then I will add a queen excluder and honey super as needed. So I end up with 16 brood frames gathering honey. At the end of honey flow I remove honey and put the 2 new colonies in their own 9 frame box and move them... I hope that answers your question.
Nice job. I just use divider boards. I make an extension on the bottom board to keep the two colonies from getting at each other
I considered doing that but then decided that I wanted the entrances on opposite sides of the box. Thanks for watching.

Did you up loaded the videos on making the special bottom board and inner cover for this build?
I am not finding this video either.

You could cut a dato in bee box jig to fit over the center.
This is absolutely an excellent idea....
For this do you use a queen excluder over the top of it? Or do you keep them in the single deep box? Keep up the good work!

@@pathofthebee2873 thank you
I've watched maybe 10 of your videos, and you don't use glue in assembly. Why is that? BTW your content is excellent and I appreciate it very much.
I use glue for frames. I feel that bee propolis is a good enough glue in most cases or I am willing to make the trade off for production volume.
