Spring Nucleus Colonies
Our Nucs have a proven history of excellence. They are raised from the strongest queens we have successfully used in Vermont for years. Our spring Nucs consist of 5 frames of bees, brood, honey, and a prolifically laying queen.
Each nuc includes the plastic box with the price. Box return is not necessary.
Pickup times are typically early to mid-May, dependent on weather conditions.
Each box has a closable entrance, which we will shut at pickup. We highly recommend a truck as the best means of transporting your nuc, as it ensure enough air flow to the bees. If you will be traveling by car, we sell netted bags for $5 each. We do not mark queens in the Nucs, except upon request. If you would like your queen marked prior to pickup there is an additional $10 charge.
