{Could anyone tell me the standard measurements for a Langstroth 5 frame nuc ?}

I have two here that I bought from Mann Lake 4-5 years ago that measure 9-5/8 outside dimension, 3/4 inch sides.

Those that I built from the 'internet plans' ( 4 from one sheet of 1/2) measure 8-1/2 outside dimension.

The Mann Lake ones are EXTREMELY 'roomy', they could be 1/2 to 3/4" narrower.

{Also a 8 frame hive ?}

13-3/4 is what I make bottom boards for others using 8-frame equipment.
That would make it 12-1/4 inside.
