Nucleus Colony (5-Frame Nuc)

A nuc is a small, established colony with a mated, marked queen and five deep frames containing honey, pollen, and brood. Spring nucs are built by our trusted producer; overwintered nucs (when available) are hardy and proven through winter.

Package (3-lb)

Our package contains roughly three pounds of bees with feed and a mated queen in a separate queen cage. Great for starting a new hive in standard equipment.
