Poly Nuc compatibility

[Minxpinx]

I have several Paynes poly nuc boxes and I'd like to get some poly nuc brood boxes that I can stack on top. Paynes are out of stock and I see that beekeeping-equip sell something that looks exactly the same (and is a few quid cheaper). Does anyone know if they are compatible?

Thanks!

I think they are all standard size. I have mixed maisies with paynes and it's the same fit.

no - the modern Maisie's nuc does not have a side feeder

No, the paynes six frame nucs has the built in side feeder which makes it wider than the maisies. The maisies and the bs 2 in 1 are compatible

The bee equipment version is actually a paynes nuc( certainly comes with Paynes branding). I picked up a few in the sales last year.
