Yes, need to be clear on what names use for what or answer may not make sense. Here are mine, you will hear these around my beeyards.
Hive = the fully functioning stable colony, production, the honey money makers
Resource colony = a colony from which regularly harvest brood from to boost and level the production Hives.
Nucleus colony = for queen mating, queen holding/banking, caged queen introduction and startup, breeder queen home.
Bank = a queenlees colony that is housing and caring for racks of caged queens awaiting placement.
Cell Starter = hopelessly queenless colony that receives grafts and initiates queen larvae from the grafts
Cell Finisher = strong queenrite colony that receives started partly drawn cells and continues feeding and finishing (capping) them.
Dink = weak, diseased, failing colony. To be quarantined and nurtured to sort out their issue(s) or be terminated.
Others may use other T and C
So Xerox when you ask resource vs nuc, what exactly are you asking? What is the end goal(purpose) of the colony being asked about? The answer will depend and be different.
