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.
