Composition of the nucs
Cores are a great way to increase the strength of a swarm. In fact, it happens that a family of bees, following the swarming, finds itself in a weakened state.
To strengthen the colony and allow its survival, beekeepers integrate the existing family by inserting a nucleus of bees and a new queen.
The composition of the bee nuclei of the Laterza beekeeping includes:
- Queen bee: essential for the development of the swarm;
- Honeycombs: the set of hexagonal cells containing the larvae of the brood and the food stocks stored by the bees;
- Worker bees: the workers follow their queen into the new family they will be placed in.
Bee cores on 5 frames
The bee cores on 5 frames are the most requested by breeders. The frames are special wooden structures, already present in the hive that allow the bees to build the combs and fill them with stocks of pollen and nectar.
We are also involved in the breeding of queen bees and the production of bee packs.
