Things to Consider:

• Temporary Housing: Corrugated plastic nuc boxes are best suited for short-term use in transporting bees or as a temporary hive while a permanent hive is prepared.

• Durability: While strong, corrugated plastic can be susceptible to damage from rough handling or chewing by rodents.
