Honeybee Nuc Deposits OR Full Payment (June Pickups)

Now accepting deposits ($75) or full payments ($175) for 2021 spring season!

To create these honeybee nucs, we combine our survivor stock bees with a newly bred marked queen in a five frame cardboard nuc. The most important part of starting a new colony is having a great queen and we won’t sell it until she has proven herself. We raise our own queens from our northern stock of survivor bees. These bees live in Western New York year round and never leave. 

These nucs have two frames of honey/pollen essential for hive growth and two are growing brood (baby bees). The last frame is left open for the hive to build on and expand. 

Once the newly introdued queen is laying in her new colony, we mark her, and the nuc will be completed! When this happens, we will contact you to schedule a pick up time. 

We believe in selling high quality bees. We are so confident in our product that our 2021 nucs now come with a guarantee! If you have a problem within 2 weeks of receiving your nuc, we will either replace or fix the problem at no additional cost to you. 

Price is $175 per nuc with two options of payment:

1. Put a deposit down ($75) now and pay the remaining balance at pickup ($100)

2. Pay in full ($175)

*We cannot ship the nucs - this is a pickup by appointment only, bulk quantity pricing available!

These are created colonies of bees, not packages. They will not be sold unless we have given them approval of a well laying queen and brood pattern. The beginning of June is when we start to sell this type of nuc. We pride ourselves in our work and can’t rush the bees, so patiences is key for a quality product! 

Need some equipment to go along with your bees? We can help! Check out our equipment and kits that you can purchase online, or at pickup when you get your nucs.
