Our 5 frame nucleus colonies are made up throughout the spring of each year. The price reflects a colony that has not yet proven itself to overwinter yet. As winter nucleus typically are more expensive.

The hives vary in strength, but should have at least 3 frames of brood, a frame or two mixture of bee bread and nectar/honey. The frames should be covered on top with bees when the nuc is opened.

*Nucleus colonies are ONLY for LOCAL PICK-UP!*
IF YOU PLACE AN ORDER ONLINE AND CAN NOT DRIVE TO PICK UP YOUR COLONY or COLONIES, YOU MAY NOT BE SUBJECT TO A REFUND!

AT THIS TIME WE DO NOT, FOR ANY REASON, SHIP BEES!
