Personally I won't be buying anymore commercially made mating nucs - All DIY stuff for me, thats the fun in beekeeping
    I have 5 rainbow minis - raised 7 queens from them this year. I have a program to make min mating nucs from celotex.. about £4 each.

    Those images are of the old bibba nucs who tried to copy the EWK system and failed


    This is what you want EWK nucs
