2026 NUCS: 

We will not be taking orders for nucs until March at the earliest, but potentially later. Email chris@creesbees.com to be put on an interest list. You will receive an email if and when we release nucs for sale.

5 frame deep Nucs will be at least 3 frames of brood, one frame of food, and another frame with a mix. They will be sold in 5 frame closable transport boxes that are yours to keep. (they make great swarm catching boxes) No frame exchange, box deposit/return necessary. 

10 Frame medium nucs will contain no less than 6 frames of brood, and be sold in a medium box with a lid and screened bottom for transport. 

These nucs will be made in Central Ohio from our own colonies overwintered in Ohio. They are not being made from bees recently returned from California Almonds or other distant locations. All of the queens in the nucs we sell are the raised in-house and are the same exact bees we run in our own operation. We DO NOT import queens from far away locals to make these nucs in May.  We are inspected and certified by Ohio Department of Agriculture. 

 Pick up location will be near Lancaster,OH. Deposits are non-refundable unless we are  unable to provide your nuc for any reason. This year we are offering two nucleus options.

 

Spring Nucs

These nuc's will be made with a fresh 2025 Ohio raised and bred queen. Pick up in early June. Exact dates dependent on weather. 

5 frame deep- $230 w/ $100 deposit.

10fr medium -$260 w/$100 deposit
