Zander 1.5 – More Brood Space for Strong Carnica Colonies

The nucleus colony is supplied on Zander 1.5 frames. Compared with the standard Zander size, this format offers significantly more brood space and is especially popular with beekeepers who prefer working with a spacious brood chamber.

Zander 1.5 enables clear, efficient colony management and gives the brood nest enough space for harmonious development. Especially with vital Carnica colonies, the large brood chamber size is a major advantage, as the colony can build up strongly.

Zander 1.5 frame dimensions:

• Top bar length: 477 mm
• Bottom bar length: 420 mm
• Height: 337 mm

The Carnica Sklenar purebred nucleus colony can be placed directly into suitable Zander 1.5 hives. This makes it easy to transfer the frames, and the colony can continue working after installation without unnecessary disturbance.

Ideal for Starting or Expanding Your Apiary

The Carnica Sklenar purebred nucleus colony Zander 1.5 2026 is ideal for:

• building up a new bee colony
• expanding existing Zander 1.5 apiaries
• beginners who want to start with a tested young colony
• experienced beekeepers who want to work specifically with Carnica purebred stock
• apiaries looking for calm, vital and easy-to-manage colonies

Thanks to the combination of 3 brood frames, food supply, building frame and tested queen, the nuc provides a solid foundation for successful development in the 2026 season.
