While most of those looking at this don't know what a NUC box is - you've idea of carrying your hive tools and a place to put frames in is a good idea.
Nice box. I built a bee toolbox last summer but opted not for the nuc design. I usually have a nuc box or two available if needed. I used cedar to keep the weight down. How many hives do you keep? Did you build your own hives?
Thanks the Octagonal Hive is just as easy to work as a regular hive.
The Tool Carrier is for DEEP SUPER 9" boards.
No Plans, I just built it the size of a NUC box, went a tad wider on the lid to hold the frame bar and added a little more length on one side floor for the Smoker. Then added the tool and brush parts to hold what I had in my Hive tool bucket. I can tell you its HEAVY to carry loaded out Even more when you put honey boards in it. I actually gave it away to my buddy because he has a lot of Hives and I only have two.
Matt Sorry I don't get on here to often, I only have two hives, I had three. I build all my own stuff. I build cool octagonal observation hives and I like to use Ash or Oak too. They last a long time, NO PAINT. Oak and Ash have natural anti microbial's too.
