5 Frames
of Bees in a Deep Nuc Box
These
are commercial grade nuc boxes with screwed down tops for easy removal and
screened bottoms for safe transport. The nuc boxes are designed to
hold five frames of bees.
Hives will
be treated for Varroa* Mites prior to pickup dates.
* Varroa Destructor - (Varroa spp.) is an external parasitic mite that attacks
the honey bees and is considered the number one cause of colony collapse.
Each Nuc comes with
a mated and laying Italian Queen and 5 frames of bees consisting of a balanced
mix of brood and food. The Nuc hives will be full of bees, which means they
will require an additional 10 frame box as soon as possible, or the bees will
likely get the urge to swarm. Adding another nuc box to the top of these or
transferring them into a deep brood hive box is highly recommended.
We offer Additional Boxes with new blank frames
that can be added to your order (see below) and ready for pickup with your
bees.
We also offer a basic Beekeeper Starter Kit
at a discount. Add a kit to your order if you do not already have supplies
to work bees. The kit contains a top quality vented jacket with fencing hood,
a pair of goat skin leather gauntlet style beekeeper gloves, a hive tool and
a smoker.
