INGENIOUS!

 INGENIOUS.  A Plastic "corrugated" NUC BOX.  comes FLAT...all scored and cut for you to fold into a NUC :)  


A NUC BOX is a handy thing to have around.  I'm planning on playing with some queen-rearing in mine.  But they're also useful to use for a small colony to get started (or treat) or a swarm catch. They're also useful for splits - say you leave the queen in the MOTHER hive...and steal out some frames of eggs for the split-off colony to make their OWN queen.  It's much easier to monitor 5 frames than 10...let alone 20.  They can just plain serve as temporary housing till you can get more equipment built.
