National 3 Frame Third Bee Hives

Our 3 Frame 1/3 Hives have all the same features and specifications as a full size National hive and are designed so they can be used in conjunction with them i.e. they are exactly a third the width.
This means they can be used as separate nucleus hives but can also be used on a full size hive. They are designed so queen mating nucleus colonies can easily be made with a minimum of bees.
