1 The queen mating nucleus hive is a queenless colony set-up to care for a developing queen bee. Typical nucleus hive has 5 Langstroth type frames/ combs arranged in normal orientation with respect to hive entrance. The nucleus hive contains combs of nurse bees and brood. Capped brood contains pupae that will soon emerge as adults. These young adult workers produce desired quality food for the emerged and laying queen. Combs of honey and pollen ensure that the new queen receives nutritious food for its proper development.

Conformance to this standard will ensure the improvement in quality of mating nucleus hives as well help in retain the required quality of queen bee grown using the hive, which in turn will help beekeepers.
