I like the thin paneling the thinner the better cause I cut a slot to slide it into and if they are commercial made boxes with the hand holds the cut comes through the hand hold. if you use anything wider than 1/8" if you pull the divider to unite or the nuc has expanded and needs more space, anything wider than an 8th of an inch will leave a bee entrance.

I'm understanding and visualizing all this info.. I like the idea of consolidating two nucs with cheap paneling. It seems to me as well, that the two nucs right next to each other in the winter would be a plus for retaining heat. I'll be thinking about this...

For now I simply need to remember to check them every Sunday...

Excellent thread!

Thanks everyone :)

Here is the brushy queen castle. Pull the board and run what size nuc you wish. Or make your own.
You can use chloroplast election type signs for dividers.
