NOW TAKING ORDERS FOR 2024 SPRING 5 FRAME NUCLEUS HIVES!
These Nucs will be created from our own stock in Greenup, KY. The NUC is an established honeybee colony which is now ready for growth during a strong spring nectar flow. Most of the frames are new and becoming established. It will be necessary to transfer the Nuc hive into a larger 8 or 10 frame hive in the coming days. Please plan your equipment needs accordingly. Each NUC will come in a Jester EZ corrugated box or Cardboard box for transport. Your nuc will have a laying Queen that has been proven with a good brood pattern. Queens will be Italian/Carniolian cross.
