NUCs for Sale – Ready for Your Hive
At our apiary, we specialize in providing thriving nucleus colonies (NUCs) to help beekeepers like you kickstart or expand your hive with ease.
A NUC from us is a carefully crafted starter colony, complete with a mated queen, worker bees, and everything needed to establish a healthy hive. Our genetics are proven to over-winter in our northern climate, raised on diverse blooms. Our NUCs are robust and perfectly suited to the region’s environment.
With years of experience in sustainable beekeeping, our goal is to make NUCs that are healthy, vibrant, and ready to flourish in their new home. Made of bees from all stages, from the same genetic lines that are proven to thrive harmoniously, these are better than your average “Packages”, which usually include a mixture of diverse genetics and distressed bees that often reject their new environment.
We supply beekeeping equipment, too!
