Nucleus colonies

Our nucs are established colonies with a mated queen and developing brood: a practical way to populate a new hive or strengthen your apiary.

Each nuc is prepared with brood frames and stores of honey and pollen, so the colony settles into its new home quickly and calmly.

Availability follows the season: write to us for the nearest pick-up or delivery dates.
