We are happy to be offering 5 frame deep and a limited number of 10 frame medium nucleus colonies this year. 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 plastic 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.

We will be taking preorders shortly after the new year. Please contact us to get on the interest list to have the first opportunity to order nucs.
