Nucs

Our 4 frame nucs typically come with 2-3 frames of brood, and 1 frame of food (honey/pollen). We don’t buy in queens for our nucs. The queens and the nucs have grown together in the same colony, not introduced together right before sale. We typically don’t cage or mark our queens.

All of our queens are selected for

- Winter survival

- Spring build up

- Good brood pattern

- Lack of swarming behaviour

- Disease resistance (hygienic testing)(Low Varroa Growth Testing)

Our spring nucs have an overwintered queen

The 4 Pillers of Beekeeping

Beekeeping comes down to 4 main pillers that need to be established.

-Local Genetics

-Naturally Adapted Equipment

-Location of Apiary

-Management

  • Locally Adapted

    We have been breeding our bees to work well in our area for the last 10+ years

  • Selectivly Bred

    We only rear Queens from our best colonies in order to continuosly improve our stock.

  • Sustainably Raised

    We dont take 4 frames and add a random queen to them. All of our nucs get to grow with their queen
