Will your nuc frames fit in a Ktbh 14 in inside 18 in outside or would it require too much chopping to make them fit?
We use standard Langstroth equipment. Here are the dimensions of the boxes:.the frames would be 3/8 inch smaller as to make a bee way inside the box. I would recomend ordering a package. Perhaps from highlandbees.com.
The standard 10 frame Langstroth hive body will vary from dealer to dealer. The inside dimensions are critical. Depending on the thickness of the wood, the inside dimensions are: 9 19/32 inches from top to bottom, 14 11/16 inches from side to side for the front of the box, and 18 5/16 inches from side to side for the side of the box. A rabbet is provided on the top side of the box fronts for a resting place for the hanging frames. A great advantage of this type of hive box is that more boxes with the same dimension can be stacked one above the other and the bees will move up into the upper boxes and store honey there.
