About our nucs
Quality nucs from queens and bees proven to be gentle, and good honey producers.
Our nucs are produced using Italian queens, VHS Pol-Line 2.2 queens and queens from my stock. Our early nucs are produced with Italian queens; the next batch is produced from VHS Pol-Line 2.2 queens. Nucs from my stock are started once queens are available. My stock is an open mated mixture of Italian, Pol-Line 2.2 and Saskatraz. They will be available most of the summer.
What's inside
A mixture of brood, food/pollen/bee bread and a laying queen (at least 3 frames of brood). All frames will be 90% drawn, or more.
Reserve early
Quantities are limited. Availability for early nucs can be guaranteed by paying a $60.00 non-refundable deposit or full payment, in advance.
Pickup only
Nucs are not shipped. They must be picked up in Killen, Alabama. Dates may vary depending on the weather, delivery of queens or other things out of my control.
Packaging
Nucs are packaged in a corrugated plastic transport box or other suitable temporary container.
Nucs can be preordered/reserved by phone or email. We will be happy to direct you on woodware/bee supplies. If you are new to beekeeping, please check out our Valuable Information page.
