Using results on the size of the smallest minimal blocking sets of Q(4, q), q even, of Eisfeld, Storme, Szőnyi and Sziklai [2], and results concerning the number of internal nuclei of (q +2)-sets in PG(2, q), q even, of Bichara and Korchmáros [1], together with projection arguments, we obtain the following characterization of the smallest minimal blocking sets of Q(6, q), q even and q 32:
