Our complete small colony of honey bees on 6 frames with brood at all stages; eggs, larvae, sealed brood and at least one frame of food stores make this the ideal way to start beekeeping. These bees are on British Standard National frames which are suitable for national bee hives. (We can supply on different frames if required)
We take great pride in our nuc production and we guaranteed you will not be disappointed with the bees.
Over-wintered Nucs
Over wintered nucs are grown on new frames from the previous summer and nurtured over winter. Only once we are completely happy that the bees are ready to be hived and that the weather is suitable (normally early April) will we start to let them go out. Prior to leaving us, all nucs are rigorously checked and the queens are remarked if necessary.
Summer Nucs
Summer nucs are split from our very best colonies, with our best F1 Buckfast queen from our breeder queen.
