Modified Paynes nuke for queen rearing

[gwizzie]

This has been on the cards now for some time after seeing the modified paynes nuc's that the apiarist did. I decided to try and take out the side of the feeder without damaging it so that I could reuse it for separating the queens!

Here are a few pictures of what it looks like just now not finished yet as need to add a few small blocks to the top of each side to stop the queens from meeting

tools used a Vibrating Oscillating Cutting Saw Porter-Cable-Corded-Oscillating-Multi-Tool-Cutting-Molding.jpg

glue used gorilla glue as it fills up the cracks and is easy to pick of when cured

As for feeding them I will use a Panyes top feeder that I will have to do a small modification to

I will post more pictures later when its finished.

Any suggestions welcome
