Скачать или смотреть Building Versatile Nuc Boxes for Better Beekeeping

In today’s video, we’re diving into an exciting DIY beekeeping project! I’ll show you how to turn a big sheet of plywood into sturdy, removable bottom board nuc boxes — perfect for splits, swarms, and building up resources.

I’ve been using nuc boxes throughout my beekeeping journey, but now I’m tweaking the design to make them more versatile. By adding removable bottom boards and making them stackable, I’m aiming to create a “support staff” system to boost honey production, manage swarms, and enhance colony growth.

🔨 What’s Covered:

Cutting plywood sheets with a circular saw and table saw for precise measurements.
Using a router to create frame rests.
Assembling the boxes using a simple jig for perfect alignment.
Attaching bottom boards with easy-to-use clamps for flexibility.
Preparing for the upcoming honey flow season!
🎥 Tools & Materials Used:

Circular Saw & Table Saw
Router Table
Crown Stapler & Clamps
Plywood (Half-inch and Three-quarter inch)
I also share a few safety tips along the way — because no one wants to lose a finger!

Dimensions

All dimensions are in inches
Deep Box: Sides, using 1/2 plywood - 19 3/4 long x 10 high
Ends, using 3/4 plywood - 7 1/2 wide x 10 high
The end pieces have 5/8 high x 3/8 wide shelf cut into the top for the frame rests. I used a router to make this cut.
