Five Frame Nucs for sale
Dec, 2011: All bee hives here at our farm are tucked in for the winter! However, if you would like to be placed on our waiting list for bees this spring, we recommend contacting us soon. We sell out quickly and have a limited amount of bees available.
Nucs: Our nuc hives consist of 5 frames of bees, brood, and honey placed into a coraplast, portable nuc box that is easy to transport. There will be no frame exchange; all bees will be available for pickup in their own temporary box. Sorry, we do not ship nuc bee hives. They are $135 each (prices subject to change at anytime.)
10 Frame Established Hives: Our 10 frame full size hives are established hives that consist of 10 frames of bees, brood and honey in a single deep hive body (not new equipment). They are $300 each, but prices are subject to change at anytime. These are ideal hives for going into the fall and winter months and are strong, healthy and booming!
To reserve a nuc, please call us or email! Our hives sell out quickly.
We sell strong bees with excellent brood patterns. What's important about a brood pattern? The ideal brood pattern is one that is solid. If the queen is not laying in every cell and the brood pattern is spotty, it's a sign that something is not right. There could be disease or the queen could be failing. We strive to raise queens that are prolific layers with good brood patterns, because it's an excellent indication to how the hive will do.
