Nuc covers

[seapro220]

Hi.
I've seen around the net several pictures of people that have double and even 4 nuc's to a single box. they all have some type of 'cloth' accross them that allow's them to remove the cover, and inspect a single nuc at a time w/o exposing the other 'nuc' in the same box. What type of material are they using? Is is some type of burlap or plastic burlap cover - just cut to the dimensions they need?

yes, that is what it is. Just make sure it will breathe out the water vapor that is a by product of the brood nest.

Mine are canvas. I would have bought white but they were out that day, so I ended up with blue...

Woven bags that commercial grass seed applicators use. Find a local hydro seeding company and you will get a lifetime supply.

I've been using older tarps because they don't lose threads on the edges like the feed bags around here.
