New queens 2023 and frames are less than 1 year old...

Nucleus Hives are established starter hives with a queen and five brood frames that are covered in bees. We provide a queen and all stages of brood - eggs, larvae, pupae, and capped honeybees.

The nuc is great for beginners who want to learn beekeeping or who have never had bees before. It also makes a great gift for beekeepers of any level or experience.

How to prep before you get your nuc home:

Organize your bee yard and build your beehive stand. Make sure you have your hive bodies set up in the area you will be placing your bees. If you are purchasing your hive body equipment from us, you will need to paint your boxes ahead of time. Paint them any light color of exterior paint (we recommend heading to the hardware store to check out their selection of mis-tinted paint). You're all ready!

We love to see our customers succeed in their beekeeping endeavors. We want you to have the best honeybees for sale available so that you can get started right away!
