Introducing the Wallace-Harper 3 frame and two frame mating Nuc

Hello all and Welcome to this posting from the Wallace Family Apiary. We are in the process of rearing local queens and making up 5 frame nucs. We are pleased to have some new equipment to the Wallace Family Apiary.
Introducing the Wallace-Harper mating nuc. The Wallace-Harper mating nuc comes in two sizes. The three frame mating nucs are made up of three medium frames 6 5/8. The two frame Wallace-Harper mating nuc are mating nucs utilizing two deep size frames 9 5/8. Designed by the Wallace Family Apiary and Harper’s Wood Shop, created/built by Harper’s Wood Shop

Happy Beekeeping!

 

Update on t he Wallace-Harper mating Nucs 10/12/11:  Although the three frame Wallace-Harper mating nucs worked out well, the two frame Wallace-Harper mating nucs did not.  The two frame Wallace-Harper frames did not work primarly because the walls where just two thick. The thick walls made for the colonies over-heating during the very hot August Months.  Will continue to use the three frame Wallace-Harper Nucs…although I’m going to design a better lid.

Again, Happy Beekeeping!
