This type of nuc is not so well known as the Apidea, but it
is quite popular, due to a comparitively lower price. It is light in
weight like other expanded polystyrene foam nucs and will blow about
in the wind in the same fashion, but it can be strapped to the
branches of a tree using a section cut from car inner tube in the
same way as the other lightweight types.
The recesses in the sides of the frame top bars allow for
queencell insertion. There is a feeder compartment at the rear of the
frames.
There is a transparent plastic sheet that acts as a
'coverboard' and the bottom has a plastic sheet slide so that the nuc
can be filled from the bottom. The entrance has a slide that when
closed will expose the maximum area of the ventilation mesh. The
ventilation mesh is of moulded plastic except on earlier versions
where perforated aluminium sheet was used.
