PLEASE READ NUC SALE DETAILS BELOW


Our Nucleus hives, or nucs, are made by dividing existing colonies in the early spring. Each nuc has a marked, mated queen. Your nuc will consist of either 3 or 5 deep frames (depending on choice at checkout), with a combination of brood, honey, and pollen. Nucs may contain plastic and/or wood frames.

Care Instructions

If you are looking to start beekeeping, I highly suggest to join a local beekeeping group and take an Intro to Beekeeping course.

Though honey bees are for the most part self-sustaining, there are plenty of pests and diseases to keep an eye out for, the most common being Varroa Destructor Mites. Hives and Nucs within my apiary are treated with several mite treatments throughout the year including, Formic Acid, Apivar, and Oxalic Acid vaporization.

If you are looking to purchase a Nuc feel free to reach out with any questions, and I am more than willing to help you get on your way after purchasing if questions arise!
