For detailed product specifications see our Lyson RAPID 6 Frame Nuc Infosheet

Give your bees a strong, well-insulated start with the RAPID 6-Frame Nuc, featuring the Rapid Assembly Polystyrene Interlocking Design. Built from dense polystyrene, this nuc box offers durability, insulation, and long-term performance for growing colonies.

Designed with dovetail joints, this nuc assembles quickly and easily—no hardware required (glue optional). Each component includes a molded plastic ridge that creates a secure interlocking fit, helping keep the hive aligned, reducing drafts, and providing a stable environment for healthy, productive bees year-round.

This nuc kit includes a rot-proof plastic screened bottom board, one deep brood box, and an outer cover. You also have the option to add the RAPID nuc polystyrene feeder, which features a dual feeding design and holds 5 liters of liquid feed total, reducing the need for frequent refilling.

As an unpainted hive, it allows beekeepers to apply their preferred exterior latex paint for added protection and longevity. Designed in Poland and trusted by beekeepers worldwide, this system is ideal for both beginners and experienced beekeepers looking for a reliable, modern nuc setup.

The RAPID Nuc is part of the Lyson Multi-frame Hive System, offering compatibility and flexibility across components.
