Ok, Google $5 nuc boxes and you will see plenty of links to plans to build these bad boys. I decided last week to go ahead and have a go at these. I got them started last week, then ran into a problem with my air nailer, so I finished them up today. These things are really easy to build. I got my plans from Beesource LINK. These things went together really easily. The key here is to set the table saw up and make all the cuts for that piece then. I am not sure how long it took me, because I split it up and ended up tinkering with other things in the process, but it wasn’t bad. They are painted and drying in the yard as I type. Now all I need is to split some hives into these things.
One thing to note, I ended up using a scroll saw to cut the opening for the bees. It was quick and simple.
