Our Correx Nuc Boxes are waterproof, durable, and with no need for addition bands or straps - this unique design is built by a beekeeper for beekeepers!
The selection of green and black for the Correx nuc box is based on practical considerations derived from Bee-Equipment's historical research and development (R&D) notes. Bees are inherently attracted to bright colours, with yellow and blue being, particularly enticing. However, using these vibrant hues elicited heightened excitement among bees, leading to increased heat generation and subsequent moisture accumulation within the box. This, in turn, resulted in the unfortunate discovery of too many deceased bees at the bottom of the nuc box.
To mitigate this issue, green was chosen due to its perceived neutrality and minimal impact on bee behaviour, akin to leaves vs yellow or blue flowers in nature. In contrast, black was chosen for the outside signage over yellow or blue to avoid attracting bees to the outside and potential predators such as wasps. | |  | National Correx 5 Frame Nuc
