Instead of making more nucs, I made a follower board. I reduce a 10 frame down to 4 frames, 5 or whatever. Allows me the wood savings as I don't plan on overwintering in Nucs, and allows me to move and add frames as needed without ever having to change out boxes or bees. It looks and fits just like a frame, just longer on the bottom to seal off the rest fo the hive. I also just used one on a 10 frame box and made a front and rear entrance and have 2 nucs in one hive body as well. I will have to move them as time goes on....
