If you purchase 5-frame nuc lids, deeps, and bottom boards separately you will get a narrow version of the 10 frame equipment described above. However, the economy nuc gives you a much cheaper and less permanent option for situations such as making up nucs to sell in which the nuc will probably soon be discarded. These economy nucs begin with a nuc hive body (side handhold included), a simple board with 3/4" strips on top to make an entrance for the bottom board, and a simple migratory style lid made of a board with dropped lips front and back.
**Economy Nucs are only available with Rabbeted Joints**
