Nucleus, or 'nuc', are small honey bee colonies created from larger colonies. A nucleus hive has all the features of a standard hive, except with a reduced width. A nucleus colony can be used to stop overcrowding in a larger healthy colony by splitting some of the population. They can also be used to care for spare queens.
